Eden comes from the Hebrew ʿEden (עֵדֶן), meaning "delight" or "pleasure." In Genesis, the Garden of Eden is the paradise where God placed the first humans before the Fall.
Eden has been used as a girl's name in Israel for decades. In the U.S. it entered the top 1000 in the early 2000s and now sits in the top 150 — a rare biblical name that remains fresh and modern.
Eden does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Eden reduce to 1, The Leader. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
