ADAM (Adams is derived from Adam)

Gender: Masculine

Usage: English, French, German, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Romanian, Jewish, Biblical

Other Scripts: 𗐖𘗓𖸗𝠨Hebrew), 𐐐𔐰𐼠(Russian, Ukrainian)

Pronounced: A-dam (English), AH-dahm (German, Polish), ah-DAHM (Russian) [key]
This is the Hebrew word for "man". It could be ultimately derived from Hebrew 𗐗𓗝 ('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 𗐖𒗓𖸗𞖸𗔠('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.
