The name means "Delight, paradise, the primordial garden where humanity first walked with God — Eden is the place of perfect innocence before the fall, the garden of abundance where every tree bore fruit and no labour was needed. As a name it carries nostalgia for a world without suffering and the quiet hope that paradise can be recovered, one small act of goodness at a time" and belongs to the Nature cluster — names drawn from the natural world — earth, water, sky.
