Re: The surnames Eden and Bethany?
in reply to a message by MJ
Eden is a not only a British surname but a German one as well.
In both cases it comes from an old first name.
In Germany it comes from very old first names like "Edo"
or "Odo".

I am not sure about Bethany. All I know is tha it comes probably from a feminine first name.
