ADAM
Gender: Masculine
Usage: English, French, German, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Romanian, Jewish, Biblical
Other Scripts: אָדָם (Hebrew), Адам (Russian, Ukrainian)
Pronounced: A-dam [key]
This is the Hebrew word for "man". It could be ultimately derived from Hebrew אדם ('adam) meaning "to be red", referring to the ruddy colour of human skin, or from Assyrian adamu meaning "to make". According to Genesis in the Old Testament Adam was created from the earth by God (there is a word play on Hebrew אֲדָמָה ('adamah) "earth"). He and Eve were supposedly the first humans, living happily in the Garden of Eden until Adam ate a forbidden fruit given to him by Eve.

Adam in Hebrew means Man. It comes from the word Adama, which means Earth.

It is a name of a male. The Holy Bible mentions Adams as the first Person created by God, if you believe in the Bible.
