Tips

history
Most prominent bearer: Sir Anthony Eden (1897–1977), British Prime Minister whose government's failed 1956 invasion of Egypt to retake the Suez Canal ended the UK's pretensions as a great power and forced his resignation. Note that the Garden of Eden is rendered with a different second character: 伊甸园 (Yīdiànyuán).
memory
伊 'yī' (literary 'she/that one') is the standard 'i/e' opener for short Western names; 登 'dēng' ('to climb, ascend') maps the '-den' ending.
