The Bible doesn't call this this man Adam until much later in the Creation story. First God creates a wonderful garden for the man and makes animals for companionship. Then he takes part of the man and makes another person, a woman, as a friend and partner to the man. When there are two people in the garden, Genesis refers to them simply as "man" and "woman." It isn't until God describes the punishment that the man and woman will suffer for eating the forbidden fruit that names appear in the Bible. In Genesis 3:20 the man names his wife Eve, meaning "mother of all living." At this point in the Bible story, the man still doesn't have a name. Only when Eve is awaiting birth of their third son, Seth, does the Bible call the man Adam for the first time.
Fascinating fact: The name Adam is closely related to adamah, which means "ground" or "earth." Genesis says that God "formed man (adam) from the dust of the ground (adamah)" (Gen 2:7). Thus, the human being is a creature of the earth.
