Talk:Hebron

Etymological info w/refs for surnames Ebron & Hebron
I haven't edited any surname entries on Wiktionary yet and I don't have the wherewithal to review the MOS for it right now, so I'm leaving the research I did out of curiosity here in hopes that my future self or someone else would be able to add it correctly into these two entries.

(Due to my real-life limitations I probably will not be able to make it back here, so don't hold back on my account!)

(Note: There's a football player, IIRC, with this last name who might be listed in Wikipedia. Also, I saw somewhere, maybe even on the same reference page, that over 80% of Americans who have this name are African Americans. I also think I recall from these refs that both names can be found England and Wales, but that only Hebron can also be found in Scotland.) https://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?surname=ebron
