Eden Name Meaning, Origin & Pronunciation

Eden means delight, pleasure. From Hebrew Eden, meaning delight or pleasure; it names the garden in Genesis.

Eden is the name of the garden in the Book of Genesis where the first man and woman lived. It is generally linked to a Hebrew word meaning delight or pleasure, though some scholars connect it to an older Sumerian word meaning plain or steppe. Its sense of paradise has made it a popular choice among parents who want a hopeful, peaceful name. It is used for girls and boys, and in Israel it is a common given name. Eden Hazard, the Belgian footballer, is a known bearer. The soft consonants and two short syllables give it a calm sound.
