How to Say "Adam" in Japanese

Adamu[a̠da̠mɯ̟]

The English name Adam is translated into Japanese as アダム (Adamu).

アダム is used as a male given name.

Meaning: male given name (name)

How does it change in a sentence?

Because アダム is a foreign loanword, it is written in the Katakana script.

Adamu

While アダム is written in Katakana, a Japanese person might occasionally create 'ateji' by assigning Kanji characters to the sounds 'a', 'da', and 'mu' to give the name a visual meaning.
In certain anime or manga, the name アダム is used as a motif for 'progenitors' or 'original beings' in sci-fi plots, moving beyond the biblical context into futuristic mythology.
In Japanese phonetic transcription, the final 'm' sound in 'Adam' is forced into an extra vowel, resulting in the three-syllable ア・ダ・ム (a-da-mu).

創造論者の中には、アダムとイブにへそはなくエデンの園の木には年輪がなかったと信じる人もいる。
Some creationists believe that Adam and Eve had no navels, and that the trees in the Garden of Eden had no growth rings.
This sentence is useful for seeing how to refer to アダム in a sentence regarding creationism.
