Adam (name)
Adam is a common masculine given name in the English language, of Hebrew origin. According to the Bible, the personal name ''Adam'' derives from the noun ''adamah'' meaning "the ground" or "earth". But it is likely folk etymology. Its Biblical and Quranic uses have ensured that it is also a common name in all countries which draw on these traditions. It is particularly common in Christian and Muslim majority countries. In most languages its spelling is the same, although the pronunciation varies somewhat. Adán and Adão are the Spanish and Portuguese forms of this name, respectively. Adam is also a surname in many countries, although it is not as common in English as its derivative Adams (sometimes spelled Addams). In other languages there are similar surnames derived from Adam, such as Adamo, Adamov, Adamowicz, Adamski etc. In Arabic, Adam () means "made from earth's mud." also means "someone dark-colored like earth's soil".
