What does the name "Adam" mean in Arabic?

[mclinkin94]

We know that names have meanings: Like Muhammad means: "the praised one".

What does Adam mean in Arabic. I've been having a hard time getting it out of the lexicons.

In hebrew Adam means "man". What about Arabic? Is it simply non-Arabic and derived from the Hebrew?

Adam means "man" in Turkish. Considering Turkish borrowed a lot of words from Arabic, i think it is the case in Arabic too.

It means "man" in Hebrew as well. I'm having a hard time finding the Arabic translation.

AsalamuAlaikum,

Ive been looking the word up in Arabic-English dictionaries and not really getting much. Just getting Adam (Prophet) or Human.

Such as Hans Wehr writes:



However i read in Lanes Lexicon:



So Adam might have the same meaning as it does in Hebrew. As Arabic and Hebrew are sister languages.

And Allah Knows Best
