Meaning and origin of Aadam
Aadam is the name of Ādam, who in Islam is both the first person God created and the first of the Prophets. The Quran tells how he was taught the names of everything and how the angels were made to bow before him. Classical Arab grammarians tied the name to adīm, the earth's surface, because he was shaped from clay. The name also appears in the Hebrew Bible, so it is older than Arabic itself; the double 'aa' is a South Asian spelling.
