Eaden is English in Origin.

Eaden blends two etymological streams. Most commonly it is a modern respelling of Eden (Hebrew ʿĒden), carrying the evocative meaning “delight” or “paradise” from the biblical garden; as such it is used for any gender and rose sharply in English-speaking countries from the late 20th century. It also appears as an English surname form (Eaden/Eadon) linked to Middle English Eade, from Old English ead “wealth, prosperity,” offering an alternate sense of “prosperity.” A homophonous Gaelic word, Èadan/Éadan (“brow, face”), occurs in Scottish place-names but is etymologically separate.

In contemporary use Eaden is typically pronounced EE-den, though the popularity of Aiden has sometimes prompted an AY-den reading; note that Aiden/Aidan derives from Irish Aodhán “little fire” and is unrelated. Variants and cognates include Eden, Edan, Edyn, and the surnames Eaden/Eadon; Edie is a common diminutive for girls.
