About the name Adam
Adam is the name of the first human and, in Islam, the first prophet. Arabic scholars offered two explanations: from "adim", the surface of the earth from which he was created, or from "udma", a brown or tawny colour. Its deeper origin is an old Semitic word shared with Hebrew. The name works equally well in Arabic and English, which has made it very popular with Arab families living abroad and at home.
