first man
Eden's original inhabitant
The first man is a country's head of state when that person is male, paralleling "first lady" for a female spouse of a leader.
The phrase also refers to Adam in the biblical creation narrative, or to any male pioneer: Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon.
In theater, the first man is the lead male actor.
