Etymology
This name appears in the Book of Mormon in connection with the biblical PN ADAM of Genesis but is never given as a name to a Book of Mormon individual. The name may be from the Hebrew ʾadam "man; human" (without the definite article), haʾadam, "humanity" (with the definite article), which is a collective and therefore never used in the plural; literally, it means "mannkind."[1]
