What Does The Name Eden Mean?
Delight, Perfect
Eden is sometimes given as a name for both boys and girls, mainly in the US. It is usually assumed that it comes from the Bible story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. This takes its name from the ancient Hebrew word ayineden, or "place of pleasure."
As a boy's name, it may have a very different origin. In modern US it use it may be a variant of Edan, which itself is derived from Aidan (as in the actor Aidan Quinn.) This comes from the old Gaelic Aedan (stressed on the second syllable) based on the word Aed or "fire." In the Dark Ages it was well known as a saint's name, and became popular again in the late 20th century.
A third possibility is that it is a variant of Edun or Edon. These names, which aren't used at all today, came from Old English words ead ("riches") and hun ("bear cub.")
