Adam is most often associated with the Hebrew word adam, which translates to “earth” or “red”. However, its roots can also be found in Akkadian adamu which translates to “make”. Adam plays an important part in Genesis creation story as well as subsequent folkloric and mystical tales; appearing both within Christian and Islamic scripture as well as Quranic literature as well as Gnosticism elaborations – hence he has become a popular English name among both genders.
