Adam

Origen y significado de Adam

Adam comes from the Hebrew adam, 'man, human being,' linked to adamah, 'red earth,' the substance from which, in Genesis, the first man was shaped. Present in the Qur'an too, it is a name shared by Jews, Christians and Muslims. Widespread in France, the Arab world and across the English- and German-speaking spheres, it is short, strong and universal — a name of origins that unites different cultures and traditions.
