With meanings like "delight" and "pleasure," names don't get much more beautiful than Eden. A gender-neutral title, Eden comes from the name of the garden where Adam and Eve first lived in the Hebrew Bible. Deriving from the Hebrew word eḏen or the Sumerian word edin, Eden translates to "plain," along with "pleasure" and "delight," so it certainly evokes images of a blissful and scenic place! Eden has also been linked to Ēadhūn and Eadgyð, two Old English titles that hold definitions like "prosperous battle" and "prosperous bear-cub." Every time little Eden achieves a goal they've been working toward or courageously tries something new, you'll be reminded of their name's meanings. The Bump user SwimmerMom shares it's a favorite, "I love Eden. I love the nickname Edie, too."
