Meaning and background
The story behind Ebonie
Ebonie has a documented music-industry namesake in Ebonie Smith. Berklee's biography identifies her as a producer, singer-songwriter and audio engineer, and as the founder of Gender Amplified, which supports women and girls in music production. It also credits her assistant-engineering work on the original Broadway recording of Hamilton. That is a specific creative association behind the spelling, without establishing Ebonie's historical relationship to another personal name or word.
