The definition of eccentric anomaly for an ellipse as a geometric figure directly applies for an elliptic Kepler orbit
Kepler orbit
In celestial mechanics, a Kepler orbit describes the motion of an orbiting body as an ellipse, parabola, or hyperbola, which forms a two-dimensional orbital plane in three-dimensional space.... . The definitions of the true anomaly and the eccentric anomaly for an ellipse
Ellipse
In mathematics, an ellipse is the apparent shape of a circle viewed obliquely from outside it, as distinct from a hyperbola which is the shape seen from inside.... and the relations between these entities are all in Ellipse#True anomaly

Mean anomaly
In celestial mechanics, mean anomaly is one of the orbital elements that defines a Kepler orbit. It specifies the position of the orbiting objects along the ellipse defined by the other elements, but does not correspond to an actual geometric angle.... article.
