Meaning and background
The story behind Ebbie
Ebbie appears as a character nickname in Miracle at Christmas: Ebbie’s Story, a 1995 reworking of Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol. The licensed Apple TV listing identifies Susan Lucci’s character as Elizabeth “Ebbie” Scrooge, a businesswoman visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future. That supplies an explicit fictional link between Ebbie and Elizabeth in this story, without proving that all bearers use Ebbie as an Elizabeth nickname.
