No. "Man" means mankind, not just Adam. Consider the term "Son of Man".
Interesting.
I wonder why the hebrew word #120 isn't translated as "adam" in the OT.
After all, Adam was the father of all mankind, correct?
Thoughts?
Ezekiel 1:26
And above to expanse which over their head, as appearance stone of sapphire likeness of throne,
and on likeness of the throne, likeness as appearance of
'adam /
אָדָם ('adam)<120> upon it from to upward.
Ezekiel 2:1
And He is saying to me "
son of 'adam/
אָדָם ('adam)<120>! stand
! on thy feet and I shall speak with thee.
120 'adam aw-dawm' from
119; ruddy i.e. a human being (an individual or the species, mankind, etc.):--X another, + hypocrite, + common sort, X low, man (mean, of low degree), person.
Strong's Number
H120 matches the Hebrew
אָדָם ('adam), which occurs 552 times in
527 verses in the Hebrew concordance of the KJV
1st time used in
OT:

Genesis 1:26
And God said, Let us make
man/('adam)<120> 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.
Last time OT:
Malachi 3:8
Will a man/
('adam)<120> rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
There appears to be another hebrew word for "
man"
582 'enowsh en-oshe' from
605; properly, a mortal (and thus differing from the more dignified 120); hence, a man in general (singly or collectively):--another, X (blood-)thirsty, certain, chap(-man); divers, fellow, X .........
It is often unexpressed in the English versions, especially when used in apposition with another word . Compare

Strong's Number
H582 matches the Hebrew אֱנוֹשׁ (
'enowsh),
which occurs 564 times in
530 verses

Genesis 6:4
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare
children to them,
the same
became mighty men which
were of old,
men/
אֱנוֹשׁ ('enowsh)<582) of renown.
Last time used:
Zechariah 8:23
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days
it shall come to pass, that ten
men/ אֱנוֹש ('enowsh)<582)> shall take hold out of all languages of the nations,
even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, 'We will go with Thee: for we have heard
that God
is with Thee'.
