EDEN

Eden is the name of the garden that God gave  to Adam and Eve in the beginning.

We called it paradise, because, the area of the garden, was a collection  of beautiful nature.

However, that is not the meaning of the name : Eden.

The garden of Eden, in Yoruba, is written and pronounced : ọgba edẹni /hor gbar ei del nie/.

Edẹni is a two syllables word. E/dẹ/ni.

When the words of these syllables are stress, they sound like : Yoruba-Igbomina dialect : Ee dẹẹ nii. 

Ee dẹẹ nii, in, Yoruba-Igbomina dialect simply mean : something that gives comfort.

Ogba Edẹni or the garden of Eden, therefore, meant : the garden that gives comfort.
