ESV Gen 5:2

Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created.

The ESV translation team stated it believes in male-only leadership in church and home.  The point is that names are not translated.  A name may have a meaning, but no one thinks the meaning is the name, EXCEPT in this case where they had a masculinist agenda.
