Go to your link. You'll see that 0120 comes from 0119. Here's 0119:

Look at [0119] and [0120] again. These are different forms of the same word. We have a few of these in english. One is skin. One form is "My skin is white". Another is "Let's skin that cat". Same word, different meanings (and note only one meaning is valid). Also, if you look at each verse containing the form 0119 (listed at the bottom of the [0119] page, you'll notice each instance of that particular form of the word has already been translated into red or ruddy. The name Adam is the [0120] form of the word, so the definition that applies to it is the [0120] definition. Can't apply the [0119] definition to it, because that's a different form of the word (like the two forms of "skin" that I gave above). Also, even if you did apply the [0119] meaning to the word, it doesn't mean Adam's complexion is ruddy. My name means "Lover of horses". Does this mean I look like a horse? Of course not. You're going to have to come up with a better argument then that to demonstrate what Adam looked like. You're argument isn't conclusive, and is trying to stretch different definitions of two forms of the same word a bit too much to claim Adam was ruddy.

Yes, that's something I ran through my mind too. It's not absolutely conclusive but when when you combine the fact that 0120 came from 0119 and the fact that at least David, Jesus, and the Nazerites were ruddy complected and that particular trait isn't dominant when mixed with other traits and also that David is just a few Generations down from Adam, I think there's enough evidence to say that the reason Adam was named Adam was because he was ruddy complected.

Some of the concordance meanings are derived, I believe. Reading the bible, it would appear that when the term "daughters of Adam" is used that that meant all of mankind, but I think it was Satan's attempt to disrupt God's plan for the Messiah, though, and Satan was going after a particular family, Adam's family. Adam was created on the eighth "day", the races were created thousands of years earlier on the sixth "day". Chapter 2 of Genesis starts out by saying that the heavens and the earth were finished and God rested on the seventh "day". And in verse 5 it continues with the word "and" and then says there was no man to till the field. So after the sixth day mankind creation, he needed another man to till the field (that's what Jesus is, a reaper of men), and so he created Adam. There's not that many generations from Adam to David so being that Adam is the patriarch of just one family of mankind, it's highly probable that he was of a certain race. And that race happened to be the ruddy complected one, or part of the ruddy complected one. It's not a racial superiority thing, because the bible says that all you have to do to be one of Abraham's seed (spiritually) is to believe and follow Jesus' ways as best you can.
