Does the name adams apple correlate with the apple Adam ate?
Yes it does, the garden of eden story is the origin of the term Adam’s apple. However, this is based on a misconception. The truth is the Genesis account of the fall of man does not specify what fruit was eaten. It was portrayed as an apple in the same kind of art that portrays Jesus as white. The origin for the mistake is thought to be because the Latin word for Adam’s Apple, “pomum Adami.” could have been a mistranslation of the Hebrew “tappuach ha adam” which can also be translated as “male lump”. The Hebrew word Adam has many meanings, since there were no vowels at the time it was written, it could be read for example as edom, meaning “red” indicating the kind of red clay that Adam was supposedly made of. The word also means man (as in mankind, or also man as in the male of the human species). It is easy to see how words and meanings can get messed up in translations.
