Definitions for Genesis 5:2
Barnes's Genesis 5:2 Bible Commentary
And called their name man. - This name seems to connect man אדם 'ādām with the soil from which he was taken ארמה 'ădāmâh Genesis 2:7. It is evidently a generic or collective term, denoting the species. God, as the maker, names the race, and thereby marks its character and purpose.
Wesley's Genesis 5:2 Bible Commentary
5:2 He called their name Adam - He gave this name both to the man and the woman. Being at first one by nature, and afterwards one by marriage; it was fit they should both have the same name, in token of their union.See note - part two at - "Ge 5.1"
