What I'm trying to say is that Adam is recognised in the three monotheistic religions. Does it mean humankind, humanity, man, the Earth. What, if anything, does it mean? We know whom it represents.

Adam means "mankind." The story of Adam in the Bible is a myth to explain the creation of people. We do not know how Adam was created. Adam represents human's free will to have a relationship with God.

Adam comes from the Hebrew term ’a·dham´ is also properly translated “man,” “earthling man,” and “mankind.” from a root meaning “red”.
The Hebrew word occurs as “man,” “mankind,” or “earthling man” over 560 times in the Scriptures and is applied to individuals and mankind in general. It is also used as a proper name.

Biblically the name Adam means first man.
We see this definition repeated in Romans when Jesus us referred to as in this way
As all men have sinned by one (Adam), now all men can have redemption through one man (Jesus).

Adamah in Hebrew represents mankind. Though some of my study shows that it means red "clay", that which is shown in Genesis God created mankind out of.
