Adam

Adam is a figure in the Book of Genesis of the Hebrew Bible and the Quran, and is also significant in Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. In the Abrahamic religions, he is regarded as the first human. The name "Adam" is derived from the Hebrew word אָדָם (transliterated adam), which can mean "man," "mankind," or "ground." In Arabic, the equivalent term is آدم (transliterated Ādam), and in Greek, it is Ἀδάμ (transliterated Adám). According to the biblical narrative, Adam was created by God from dust and given life by the breath of God. He was placed in the Garden of Eden and later expelled for his disobedience in eating the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Adam's story is central to the concept of original sin in Christianity and serves as a foundational narrative in the Abrahamic traditions.
