    As I have read before that the Arabic word "Adema" means sand

    and as we know that God created Adam from sand

    so the name Adam came from the word Adema which is sand

    In Arabic human means Adami and bani Adam "son of Adam"

    Humans means Adamiyon it's the plural of Adami

    I love this name and It will be the name of my son in the future :)

    I think Adam, in a biblical context, means man.

    It means MAN.

    In all contexts.

    It's Hebrew.

    Earth, btw, is Eretz or Aretz, depending on the context.

    it's hebrew for earth, if i'm not mistaken
