Eden 
The name Eden occurs three times in the Bible. The first and most famous Eden is the location of the paradisiacal garden in which Adam and Eve lived their pre-fall existence. The garden of Eden is marked by four rivers: Pishon, Gihon, Haddakel and Parat.
The second Eden is either a person or a region probably somewhere in Mesopotamia. Isaiah speaks of 'sons of Eden who were in Telassar' (37:12). The third Eden is a Levite in the days of king Hezekiah (2 Chr 29:12).
Of course, we must note that the name Eden was applied to Paradise in retrospect, unless we assume that God named the place Eden. We don't exactly know where Eden was, but apparently it is where four rivers sprouted from an unnamed mother river, like a delta. It is generally accepted that this location should be somewhere around the modern rivers Tigris and Euphrates, but these two rivers come from different sources and combine, in stead of the other way around. And there is also no trace of the two other rivers. To make matters even worse, the Bible lists these rivers as Haddakel for Tigris and Parat for Euphrates. These names may even indicate two totally different rivers.
The description of the location of the rivers is also not very revealing: The Pishon flows in the land Havilah, which is according to Genesis 25:18 somewhere between Egypt and Assyria. The Gihon flows in Cush, which is usually associated with Ethiopia. The Haddakel flows east of Assyria, and of the Parat no location is given. This may be simply because the Torah in the form that we have it was finalized during the exile in Babylon, and nobody there needed to be explained where the Parat (=Euphrates) went. But perhaps there are deeper meanings hidden in the story of the four rivers. One possibility is an allusion to the super-symmetry that may or may not underlie the fabric of creation.
There is some dispute over the meaning of the name Eden. Jones, NOBSE and even the Septuagint note that Eden is similar to the Hebrew word (eden 1567a) meaning finery, luxury, delight (2 Sam 1:24, Psalm 36:8). This word comes from the verb (adan 1567), luxuriate. This verb is used only once. In Neh 9:25 it reads, "...and luxuriated in Thy great goodness."
Another derivation is  (adin 1567c), voluptuous, which Isaiah applies in his description of the daughter of Babylon (47:8). In Genesis 18:12 the derivation  (edna 1567b) occurs as Sarah wonders if she will have pleasure , as she and Abraham are old.
BDB and TWOTOT , however, claim the name Eden from the Akkadian word edinu based on the Sumarian word eden, meaning plain, steppe.
Whatever the original name-giver meant to say with the name Eden is unclear, but any Hebrew audience would have heard Delight or Luxury.
