Edynn is a girl's baby name of Old English origin, a modern creative spelling of Eden or Edna, with Eden meaning 'paradise' or 'delight' (from the Hebrew eden) and Edna from the Hebrew meaning 'pleasure.'
Edynn gives the beloved Eden/Edna tradition a more contemporary written form, with the double-N ending adding visual distinction. The paradise imagery of Eden — the garden of innocence and perfect joy — gives this name a beautiful foundational meaning for any child.
