http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebalus_of_Aquitaine

Ebles was an illegitimate son of Ranulf II of Aquitaine <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranulf_II_of_Aquitaine>. The meaning of his surname is disputed. Manzer is a Germanic <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanic_peoples> habitational name, but also a Germanic personal name formed from magin, meaning "strength" or "might" (cf magnus <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus>). It may also be a corruption of the Hebrew <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_language> mamzer <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamzer>, meaning bastard, hence the appellation sometimes seen, Ebles the Bastard, and his supposed Jewish <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish> mother. The same surname was used by another Prince from Occitania <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occitania>, Arnaud Manzer , Count of Angoulême <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angoul%C3%AAme> (born 952-died 988/92) who also was a bastard. This fact makes problematic the speculation about Germanic origin of the surname.
