The word "garden" is a new one, and originally garden and garden had different meanings. "Niwa" meant a place for work or events, and indicated flat land. In ancient times, it was also a place for religious ceremonies and government affairs, but even today the word "niwa" is used to refer to the square in front of a roof, farm work areas in front of a roof or indoors, and open spaces around a house.

From Heaven

In particular, the issue of the representation of paradise in the New Testament and its interpretation (demythologization), proposed by the German theologian R. Bultmann, became a major theme among biblical scholars and attracted much attention as a debate over the reinterpretation of ancient cosmology colored by mythological representations. [Yamagata Takao]
[Islam]
In the Quran, heaven is generally called "paradise" (janna), but it is also called "Garden of Eden" (janna 'adn), "Eden" (firdaws), or "Garden of the Final Residence" (janna al-ma'wā). It refers to the paradise in which those who have believed and done good deeds in this world are allowed to live as a reward.
