What name did God give to both the man and the woman in Genesis 5:2?
According to Genesis 5:2, after creating them male and female and blessing them, God called their name Adam. Scripture does not refer only to the woman as Eve in that verse; it says He called them both Adam, showing they were both included in Adam.
Les explains that Genesis 5:2 says, “male and female created He them, and blessed them, and called their name Adam.” He notes that the verse does not refer to the woman or to Eve by name at that point, but says God called their name Adam. Les connects this with the phrase “They were both in Adam,” indicating the shared name and position of the man and woman before the later account of woman’s creation. The context also notes she will not be called Eve until after the Fall and is only referred to as the woman earlier.
Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
