Linguistic explanation and meaning

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Z hebrejského ʾādām (אָדָם), „človek, ľudstvo“. V biblickom rozprávaní sa toto všeobecné pomenovanie používa aj ako vlastné meno prvého človeka. Kniha Genezis ho prostredníctvom slovnej hry spája so slovom ʾădāmāh (אֲדָמָה), „zem, pôda“. Tradičný výklad „človek zo zeme“ vyjadruje túto biblickú súvislosť; nejde o bezpečne preukázané slovotvorné odvodenie.
