Eden the place (more fully, the
Garden of Eden) where Adam and Eve lived in the biblical account of the Creation, from which they were expelled for disobediently eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge.
The name comes from late Latin (Vulgate), Greek
Ēdēn (Septuagint), and Hebrew
῾Ēḏen, perhaps related to Akkadian
edinu, from Sumerian
eden ‘plain, desert’, but believed to be related to Hebrew
῾ēḏen ‘delight’.
