Eliezer
Greetings,
I don't believe the parsha mentions Eliezer specifically as the servant.
Shalom,

Eliezer, or lack thereof I've heard that point used to show how devoted Eliezer was. He was this big hotshot, making a match for the young master. But he felt so unimportant, that he never even mentions his name. When talking to Rivkah's family, he introduces himself by saying, "I am a servant of Abraham."
In yeshiva they would tell us to learn from Eliezer and not take ourselves so seriously.
