Adam: meaning, origin and middle names

Adam comes from Hebrew, meaning man, or earth: the first man in Genesis.
How Adam sounds in a full name
Adam runs to two beats. It closes on a firm consonant, which is a gift: it takes vowel-opening middle names that most first names cannot. At two beats, Adam sits comfortably with one- and three-syllable middles; a two-syllable middle gives a steadier 2–2 rhythm, which some ears prefer and others find flat.
