Eden Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(m., f.) Hebrew ‘delight'; like some other Old Testament place-names, sometimes used as a christian name in the 17th C. See also Edith.
— The Oxford Dictionary of Christian Names (1947) by E. G. Withycombe
Found as a baptismal name. Either from the Scripture local name or corrupted from the Scotch name Edan.
— Prænomina (1882) by Richard Stephen Charnock
E'-den, pleasure or delight. The residence of our first parents in a state of purity and innocence. The name has been given to several places which from their situation were pleasant or delightful. Amos (chap. i. 5) speaks of an Eden in Syria, in the valley of Damascus: some have therefore concluded that this was the original Eden. Others have fixed its site on the eastern part of Mount Libanus. But the opinion which has been most generally received on this subject, is that which places the garden on the lower Euphrates, between the junction of that river with the Tigris and the Persian Gulf.
— The Proper Names of The Bible (1855) by John Farrar
Meaning: delight.
