In this article, we will provide interpretations regarding fathers naming their sons by name and we will summarize the main points of their statements that have been brought forward so far. The scripture mentions that Adam called his third son by his name, even though it has already been mentioned that Eve called her son by his name. For example, the Ramban claims that the scripture emphasizes that the calling by name is precisely for those who will continue the chain of generations, the Melbim points to the same principle and says that it was appropriate to mention from whom the kingdom of the house of David will come.
