As the Torah says in Bereishit, “Adam gave names to all the animals” (Bereishit 2:20).
The Midrash explains that Adam did not choose names at random—he looked deep into each creature’s soul, understood its purpose, and gave it a name that revealed its inner essence.
By exploring how Adam named each animal, readers learn not only about animals, but also about the beauty of creation and the wisdom hidden in words.
