Eburones pl (複数形 only)
If of Celtic/Gaulish origin, probably from Proto-Celtic *eburos (“yew-tree”). However, if of Germanic origin, likely from Proto-Germanic *eburaz (“boar”); a semantic "contamination" between the two senses is not impossible.[1] More at Eburones.
Third-declension noun, plural only.

The Eburones (Greek: Ἐβούρωνες, Strabo), were a Belgic people of Germanic or Celtic descent who lived in the upper north of Gaul in ancient times. They lived largely between the Rhine and the Maas, east of the Menapii. This area later became part of the province Germania Inferior. Julius Caesar says that the Condrusi, Eburones, Caeraesi, and Paemani were called by the one name of Germani (B. G. ii. 4). When the Tencteri and Usipetes, who were Germanic tribes, crossed the Rhine from Germania (55 BCE), they first fell on the Menapii, and then advanced into the territories of the Eburones and Condrusi, who were in some kind of political dependence on the Treveri. (B. G. iv. 6.). The Eburones were evidently wiped out by Caesar's forces during the Gallic Wars.
