In the Ancient Hebrew Language the word, “adam,” means, “red.” Apparently The First Father of the Human Family, whom Joseph Smith was told, by Our Heavenly Father, was, “the Handsomest Man who ever lived,” was a red-head, which can be thought of as, “a unique coloration characteristic of the Nordic Race.” In the Ancient Language of the Tribes of the Nordic Race, the name of our First Father was, “Man.” The word, “family,” is a Latin word. Our ancestral word for, “family,” the “kinsmen” of our “kindred,” to whom we are expected to be “kind,” is, “kind.” Our Ancient, Ancestral way of saying, “the Human Family of Father Adam,” is, “Mankind.”
Any readers of ancient Hebrew out there?
Meaning & History
This is the Hebrew word for "man". It could be ultimately derived from Hebrew אדם ('adam) meaning "to be red", referring to the ruddy colour of human skin, or from Akkadian adamu meaning "to make". According to Genesis in the Old Testament Adam was created from the earth by God (there is a word play on Hebrew אֲדָמָה ('adamah) "earth"). He and Eve were supposedly the first humans, living happily in the Garden of Eden until Adam ate a forbidden fruit given to him by Eve.
As an English Christian name, Adam has been common since the Middle Ages, and it received a boost after the Protestant Reformation. A famous bearer was Scottish economist Adam Smith (1723-1790).
