Meaning & origin
Adom is a rare masculine name that functions as a variant of the enduring classic Adam. First recorded in the U.S. Social Security data in 1974, Adom has never entered the national rankings, reflecting its extremely low usage. Its peak year of use came in 2019, indicating a modest uptick in interest before a declining trajectory since 2020. Despite its rarity, Adom carries the weight of the biblical tradition associated with Adam, making it a distinctive choice for parents seeking a name with ancient roots but uncommon sound.
Adom is a variant of the name Adam, which derives from the Hebrew 'adamah' meaning 'earth' or 'ground'. In the Abrahamic traditions, Adam is the first man created by God. The specific form Adom is less common and may also be influenced by other languages.
