The name Adam translates to ruddy complected in the Hebrew.

I'd really like to know where you get that idea. In Hebrew, the word for Adam is, well, I'm not sure how to write Hebrew on here. However, here's a Strong's reference for you: Strong's [0120] Adam. Adam means man or mankind. Where'd you get your information that it means ruddy?

As I understand it Adam means first man and Essau means "ruddy" which would make sense if he was a hunter and outdoorsman hunting meats for the family. Jacob means deceiver.
