Meaning: Brave and strong boar

Made for a remarkable calling, Eber is a boy’s name of Old German origin, meaning “brave and strong boar.” A darling diminutive of the German name Eberhard, which also breathes bravery into existence, Eber is a name of noble standing that may foster mighty force in your little one for when the fight calls. And although boars have a beastly reputation, their ferocity is what makes them a striking symbol of courage and strength in Celtic legend and lore. Bold in every way, Eber might be the name that brings out the battler in us all.
