The meaning of Eborn
English (Middlesex, Buckinghamshire, and Oxfordshire): variant of Eburne, itself a possible variant of Hepburn. However, the placename Hepburn comes from northeastern England, and the H- spellings are a late development, which reinforces the suspicion that the name may have a different but unknown derivation.
