"Adam" meaning in Maltese

See Adam in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /aˈdaːm/ Audio: LL-Q9166 (mlt)-GħawdxiVeru-Adam.wav (note: Gozo)
Rhymes: -aːm Etymology: From Sicilian Adamu, Addamu and/or Italian Adamo, both from Latin Ādāmus, from Ancient Greek Ἀδάμ (Adám), from Hebrew אָדָם (āḏām). All religious names (though not all religious words) in Maltese are borrowings from Romance. The inherited form from Arabic آدَم (ʔādam) would be *Iedem, which is preserved in bniedem (“human being”, literally “son of Adam”).
