Origin of the name Adam

The name Adam is translated from Hebrew as “created from red clay,” but over time this name became a common noun and is still translated as “man” to this day.

Adam is the name of the first person on Earth, created by God from ordinary clay. In ancient mythology, Adam was considered a god, demigod and hero. In Islam, this name is holy and is revered as the name of the father of all mankind and the first prophet of Allah.

It is believed that Adam was created in the image of God and was called the “son of God.” In Orthodoxy and Catholicism, Adam is revered on a par with the saints as the first man – the ancestor of humanity. For Catholics, Adam is the patron saint of gardening and horticulture.

Adam celebrates Angel Day on January 27th. It is believed that it was on this day that he was beaten by the Saracens for his Christian faith.

Meaning and characteristics of the name Adam

As a child, Adam is a stubborn, vulnerable, emotionally unbalanced boy. He is not similar in appearance to either his mother or father, and has been skeptical of family traditions since childhood, denying their significance. To raise such a boy, parents have to put in a lot of effort. Only as he matures does he become calmer and begin to react adequately to what is happening around him. At school, he is hardworking and strives for knowledge; his studies are not easy for him, but he manages to do everything “excellently.”

Adult Adam is friendly, simple, open to his surroundings and always ready to help if the need arises. He is absolutely unsophisticated and thus attracts people into his social circle for a long time. Adam is demanding of himself and his external image; he does not accept wrinkled clothes and dirty shoes.

Adam is negatively characterized by such qualities as excessive touchiness, vulnerability and not always appropriate suspiciousness.

If Adam cannot realize himself in the love sphere, he becomes prone to manic passion in relation to the opposite sex, although he often worships women. Adam begins to lead a sexual life too early, has many partners, does not look for seriousness, and if marriage happens, it is, as a rule, not successful and Adam is not happy in it.

Adam tends to withdraw into himself, think analytically and coldly, be subjective in resolving most issues and never put himself in the place of other people. Possessing such a character, he is a leader in society, very disciplined and demands discipline from others. Compromises are difficult for him – only those closest to him can break his stubborn character.

Representatives of this name are more often implemented in medicine and trade. Adam can easily build his own business if he sets his mind to this goal and starts working hard and hard. Prefers action to talking.

Adam carefully chooses his friends, is faithful to them, but dominates and rules even in his relationships with them. He endures betrayal and infidelity hard, remembers the evil caused and does not forget about the kindness shown towards him.
