My surname is Ebbeling out from Freisland.

Isn't ebba, pronounced the same way, a feminine name?

Actually, the -e at the end very common for many names in Northern countries, also for a good bunch of names in Germany. You don't pronounce it EB-bee but, as btn says, EB-uh, with a very short "uh". I don't it that feminine.

Note: Ebbe is the German word for "low tide".

The final "E" makes it sound much too feminine.
