Aadam
Meaning of Aadam
Aadam is a masculine given name of Semitic derivation, representing an alternative transliteration of the prototypical Hebraic appellation ʾĀḏām—itself rooted in the Hebrew noun ʾāḏāmāh, “earth,” and adopted into Arabic usage as Ādam—pronounced AH-dum (/ˈɑdəm/). Its historical associations trace directly to the Abrahamic patriarch regarded as the primordial human in both Judaic and Islamic traditions, and it has been embraced in Anglo-American milieus by families seeking to underscore a linkage to theological ancestry while retaining phonetic accessibility in English. Quantitative data from the U.S. Social Security Administration reveal a modest yet persistent presence: annual occurrences have oscillated between five and twenty births since the late 1980s, with a rank fluctuating in the low nine-hundreds (e.g., eleven occurrences at rank 913 in 2024), indicative of steady but niche adoption rather than widespread popularization.
