Eden Origin and Meaning

The name Eden is a girl's name of Hebrew origin meaning "place of pleasure, delight".

Eden is an attractive, serene name with obvious intimations of Paradise, one of several place names drawn from the Bible by the Puritans in the 17th century.

Eden entered the Top 1000 in 1989, and got a real bump in visibility when Desperate Housewives' Marcia Cross used it for one of her twin girls. There have also been Edens on the old soap opera Santa Barbara and the shows Heroes and Extras.

Today, Eden has cemented its place in the Top 100 and is poised to be a future Top 50 favorite.

Pronounced ED-en, Eden is also a Hebrew name for boys, though as EE-den it's gaining ground in the US for boys, now given to one boy for every four girls.
