In referring to the first human being, it means "man" because it is used as a noun, and its Lexicon is H120. When using the Hebrew word for "ruddy" (which also means Adam), it is a verb and it's Lexicon is H119. So, the correct meaning for Adam is "man" when referring to the first human being.
My point is aspen is incorrect when he said all people were black and that the skin of whites is a mutation....Adam was not black.....he was ruddy....that is why God called him Adam.

God called the first human being "Adam" simply because he was a man (Lexicon H120). God does not care about the skin color of a person. There is only one race - the human race. All others such as black, white, brown, red, and yellow were all created by man. Even the Bible says that Jesus came down as a man. It never said that He came down as a Middle Eastern or a brown or black person.

Below is the Hebrew word of Adam (Lexicon H120) taken from Strong's biblical Lexicon, and I provided the weblink below. And by the way, the word "ruddy" is also an English word.

Now, let's take a look at "Adam" under Lexicon H119, and I provided the weblink for that as well. If you follow the weblinks, it shows you that when referring to the first man it was Lexicon H120 that was used.

The point is, the word Ruddy, Red, is what the word ʾādām means. I could also say the word man means Ruddy or Red since that is what he was called by God.

The meaning of words change over time so the word אָדָם - ādām originally meant ruddy as even your post proves. So now, it is applies to all of who came from Adam.

Root: from <H119>
Cross Reference: TWOT - 25a

The word "man" does not mean ruddy or red. The Hebrew word for man is "Adam." It is the noun form of Lexicon H120. Ruddy has another Lexicon according to Strong's Biblical Usage and Translation. Ruddy is in the verb tense. Man is a NOUN form. God did not call the first man Adam because of his ruddy or red complexion. God gave him that name because he is a man. God does not look at the skin color of a person.

Wasnt esau ruddy? If so, it seems to speak of his temperment rather than his skin color.
That was not the main part of my point/post. Why did you leave the rest of it out? The Hebrew word Adam means Ruddy or Red, which you keep ignoring. It was even in your own post.
1) to be red, red
a) (Qal) ruddy (of Nazarites)
B) (Pual)
1) to be rubbed red
2) dyed red
3) reddened
c) (Hiphil)

2) to glare
3) to emit (show) redness
d) (Hithpael)

I showed you that Adam means "man" as a NOUN, and "ruddy" as a VERB. When God created the first man, God used the meaning of "man" (Lexicon H120). You, on the other hand, focused only on Lexicon H119 and disregarded Lexicon H120, which is a NOUN referring to the first man Adam. Now, why is that? Why should the skin color of Adam be important to you. It wasn't important to God. When God made the first man, he named him Adam.....which means "man." Adam is a person....a NOUN. A human being is not a verb.
Buzz you should try a linguistic study, it would probably help you distinguish a noun from a verb, an adjective or adverb.
The below is part of what you post. So the Hebrew word אָדָם - ʾādām tells me that his skin color was ruddy= red.
1) to be red, red
a) (Qal) ruddy (of Nazarites)
B) (Pual)
1) to be rubbed red
2) dyed red
3) reddened
c) (Hiphil)
1) to cause to show red
2) to glare
3) to emit (show) redness
d) (Hithpael)
1) to redden
2) to grow red
3) to look red
