Barnes's Genesis 5:2 Bible Commentary

And called their name man. - This name seems to connect man אדם 'ādām with the soil from which he was taken ארמה 'ădāmâh Genesis 2:7. It is evidently a generic or collective term, denoting the species. God, as the maker, names the race, and thereby marks its character and purpose.

Wesley's Genesis 5:2 Bible Commentary
