What is is the derivation of the Swedish name Ebbe, masculine?

I've seen Esbjorn given in baby name websites, but I was hoping someone could give me a definitive answer.

What is is the derivation of the Swedish name Ebbe, masculine?
Ebbe is an old Danish name that has been used in Sweden for about 700 years.


Ebbe could be short for Esbj枚rn or 脛rnbj枚rn but it could also stem from other old Germanic names. Esbj枚rn is a younger version of the name Asbj枚rn that means "As-" (God-) and "-bj枚rn" (-bear).
Reply:I don't know. All the pages that I know of are in Swedish. I'll have a look around and post another comment if I find something in English. Report Abuse
