Why is the Happo gondola called "Adam"?

I'm always curious about named things like this here. Is there an Adam or was it just a kakkoi name or something?

maybe it was the first Gondola built, then they used a chair from it to make all the other gondolas that's why Adam has one chair less than the others......

Processed Cheese would be more appropriate.

I belive that the gondola at Tsugaike, owned by the same company, is called Eve. Perhaps that explains it.

Great names. Though perhaps Jesus and God would have been better. But which would get God?
