Adam

Adam (אָדָם; Greek: Αδάμ) is the name used in the opening chapters of the Book of Genesis for the first man created by God, but it is also used in a collective sense as mankind and individually as a human. Biblical Adam (man, mankind) is created from adamah (earth), and Genesis 1-8 makes considerable play of the bond between them, for Adam is estranged from the earth through his disobedience.
