About Adam
Adam -- a primal Old Testament name -- was revived as a 1960s cowboy name. Adam is not as popular as it once was and feels ready for a respite, replaced by newer A names like Aidan/Aiden, Avery and Axel. Its most prominent current bearers include Adams Sandler, Levine, Brody and Driver -- who plays a character named Adam on Girls.
Adam, of course, is the first man God created. It is also a generic term for mankind. Adam did not hit the U.S. Top 100 until 1970, peaking in the early '80s at Number 18.
Adam is also given to girls, where it ranks #9464 in the US.
Pronounced AD-um.
As of October 2026, Adam ranked #101 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #18 in 1983, Nameberry popularity #253.
