Some translations use Adam’s name here because he is naming Eve. See what you did in verse 3:17. Alternate translation: [Then Adam called his wife] or [Then the man gave his wife the name]

If you include the meaning of Eve’s name in your translation or in a footnote, make sure it is similar to the word in the following clause that has the same meaning (living), so that it is clear why Eve was given that name. The meaning of names is important in the Hebrew language, and this translation issue occurs frequently in the book of Genesis.
