Tertullian (de praesc. haer. XXXII 3-5 and XXXIII 11 and de virg. vel. 6 1, etc, in Klijn and Reinink, Patristic Evidence for Jewish-Christian Sects, 1973, 106-111) supposed that ebionites were founded by an eponymous person Ebion (or Hebion).
But he was mistaken, in case that is worth noting here.
More info in "Ebionites" in Anchor Bible Dictionary II 260-261.
Ebionites were not founded by "Ebion"
