Before selecting the best fitting name for your dearest one, know about the origin and meaning of the name Adam.
Meaning and Origin of the Name Adam
As we mentioned at the beginning of this article, Adam was the name attributed to the first human being on the Earth according to the creation myth of Abrahamic religion. In the Hebrew Bible, he was a character in the Book of Genesis and was adopted into the Christian faith and the Quran. He is called ‘The First Man’.
In Genesis, Adam and his wife, Eve, were banished from the Garden of Eden for eating the forbidden fruit of the ‘Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil’. The Bible uses the word ‘adam’ as a pronoun to refer to as ‘a human’ individually and as ‘mankind’ collectively.
The word Adam was created from the Hebrew word ‘adamah’ meaning earth. According to the Old Testament, Adam was made by God from the earth, and Eve was created from the ribs of Adam.
It was Adam and Eve living happily in the Garden of Eden until they disobeyed God and eventually were banished from heaven to the earth where they created the second generation of the human race, including their children Seth, Cain, Azura, Awan, and Abel. In Arabic ‘adam’ translates to ‘made from’.
Adam was quite popular since the middle ages and no doubt it gained its popularity for its biblical significance.
However, there are some other famous people who bear the same name or changed into ‘Adam’ such as William West Anderson, known professionally as Adam West was famous American actor; Adam Richard Sandler or Adam Sandler is comedian and songwriter; Adam David Lallana is an English football player; Adam Smith was a Scottish economist etcetera.
