Meaning of Adam
Adam is a direct Quranic name for boys that refers to the first human that God created, who was also the first prophet, peace be upon him. Adam according to some linguists is related to Adeem, which means “dust”, since God created Adam from dust, or from Admah, which means “surface of the Earth”. The word Adam mentioned 20 times in the Quran.
BEHOLD, God raised Adam, and Noah, and the House of Abraham, and the House of `Imran above all mankind. (Quran 3:33)
Verily, in the sight of God, the nature of Jesus is as the nature of Adam, whom He created out of dust and then said unto him, “Be” – and he is. (Quran 3:59)
