Eden

עֵדֶן

• Gender: Unisex
• Origin: Modern Hebrew
• Meaning: pleasure, delight

• Eden needs almost no introduction. It is the name of the garden God planted in the opening chapter of Genesis, the paradise of peace and delight where human life began. In Hebrew, the word means "pleasure" or "delight," and it has become one of those rare biblical names that feels completely at home in the modern world.

  Few names cross over so effortlessly, feeling universally beautiful while carrying unmistakable biblical weight. Israeli singer Eden Alene, who represented the country at Eurovision, has given the name a pop-culture sparkle to match its ancient roots. It works for any gender, ages gracefully, and needs no explanation in any language — the rare name that truly has it all.
