The first woman was named Eve.
Gene 1:26 (KJS) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
God made man to be like him. The word ADAM is god's word for man, or mankind.
The word Eve came from Adam who named every living thing upon the earth.
Gene 3:20 (KJS) And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
