Adam (given name) explained

Adam
Pronunciation:in Danish ˈɛːtɑm/
Nickname:Ad
Gender:Male
Meaning:"earth" or "soil"
Language:Hebrew, Aramaic, Akkadian, Arabic
See also:Adan, Adão, Adem

Adam is a common masculine given name in the English language, of Hebrew origin.

The name derives from Adam (Hebrew: אָדָם), the first human according to the Hebrew Bible, which is, in turn, derived from the noun adamah (אדמה), meaning "soil" or "earth". When used as noun, אָדָם means "man" or "humanity".[1] Its Biblical and Quranic uses have ensured that it is a common name in countries which draw on these traditions, and it is particularly common in Christian and Muslim majority countries. In most languages, its spelling is the same, although the pronunciation varies. Adán and Adão are the Spanish and Portuguese forms, respectively.

Adam is also a surname in many countries, although it is not as common in English as its derivative Adams (sometimes spelt Addams). In other languages, there are similar surnames derived from Adam, such as Adamo, Adamov, Adamowicz, Adamski, McAdam, etc.

In Arabic, Adam (Arabic: آدم) means "made from earth's mud".[2] [3]
