Eden is a Hebrew name meaning "delight" or "paradise", after the garden in Genesis where Adam and Eve lived before the fall. It is used for both sexes in Israel and the English-speaking world but is given mainly to girls in the United States, where it fits the taste for short, soft names such as Ava and Emma. Eden ranked number 521 among American girls in 2000, rose from number 156 in 2015 into the top 100 in 2023 and reached number 70 in 2025, its best rank so far.
