What does Ebony mean?
3 syllablesOrigin: English

Ebony is the name of a dense, dark hardwood historically prized for fine furniture and instrument parts, and by extension the deep black color named for it. The word traces through Latin and Greek back to an Egyptian source, reflecting the wood's ancient trade history.

Ebony is sleek and striking, an obvious fit for a pet with a glossy black coat, though its rich, elegant sound suits any companion with presence.
