Eden, a reference to the biblical Garden of Eden, is believed to be derived from the Hebrew word eden, meaning "pleasure" or "delight." In the Old Testament, the Garden of Eden was a biblical paradise where Adam and Eve lived before being expelled. The name first appeared in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 for girl names in 1986 and was a top-200 girl's name by 2010 before cracking the top-100 for the first time ever in 2023. "Desperate Housewives" actress Marcia Cross welcomed a twin daughter named Eden in 2007.
