hidekel

(heb. Hiddekel, the fast Tigris; sum. Idigna; assyrian Idiqlat; old persian Tigra, from which Greek Tigris derives). 1. River of Eden (Genesis 2:14). 2. The Tigris river (the biblical hidekel) in Baghdad. Bricks are unloaded from ghuffas, wicker boats resembling round baskets covered in pitch. 3. The Tigris, one of the two rivers of the Mesopotamian valley, setting of one of Daniel's visions (Daniel 10:4). Two of its tributaries are in Armenia, the Bitlis Jai and Bothan Jai, which join the main river flowing from the Antitaurus Mountains. It runs southeast through Mesopotamia, joined by the Great Zab, Little Zab, and Diyala. Nineveh was on the left bank, opposite modern Mosul on the right. Calah (Nimrud) and the ancient capital Assur were also located along its course near these junctions.

It is a branch of the river that crossed Eden, that is basically it, well its translated meaning is Tigris, and above there is a more detailed description :) I hope it is useful for you friends.
