Ἀδάμ G0076
Adam; the first man created by God, used as a genealogical ancestor and typological figure contrasted with Christ.
Adam is the Hebrew name meaning 'man' or 'humanity,' carried into Greek as an indeclinable proper noun. Luke traces Jesus' genealogy back to Adam, son of God (Luke 3:38), anchoring the Savior's full humanity. Paul develops Adam as the great typological counterpart to Christ: through one man sin entered (Romans 5:14), in Adam all die but in Christ all are made alive (1 Corinthians 15:22), and the 'last Adam' became a life-giving spirit (1 Corinthians 15:45). The Spanish forms 'Adam/de-Adam' and French 'Adam' show how universally the name passes unchanged across languages, underscoring its foundational role in biblical theology.
Senses
1. Adam (proper name) — The proper name of the first human being, the progenitor of the entire human race. Used in Luke 3:38 as the ultimate ancestor in Jesus' genealogy, and in Pauline theology (Romans 5:14; 1 Corinthians 15:22, 45) as the typological head of fallen humanity whose disobedience is reversed by Christ, the 'last Adam.' Also referenced in 1 Timothy 2:13-14 regarding creation order and in Jude 14 for chronological reckoning. All nine occurrences refer to the same historical-theological figure. 9×
