From the Hebrew name Adamah, meaning earth or ground, Adam appears in the Book of Genesis as the first man created by God, shaped from the dust of the earth. The name spread throughout the world through the influence of the Bible and the Quran, becoming one of the most enduring personal names across European, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian traditions. It was used by several medieval saints and remains common across dozens of languages with minimal alteration. Related forms include Ádám in Hungarian and Adəm in Azerbaijani.
