Etymology 1

[edit]

From Hebrew עֵדֶן (eden), perhaps from Sumerian 𒂔 (edin, steppe, garden).

  2. An English surname, probably derived from a place name.

      It was no good. I felt beyond all question that I was indeed Eden, not Elvesham. But Eden in Elvesham's body!
  3. A female given name from Hebrew from the biblical place name; also a medieval diminutive of Old English compound names beginning with the element ēad (riches).
