King James version, Genesis, chapter ONE:

27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that [h]moves on the earth.”

So that happened - man and woman. One of each. Along with all the other animals on the planet - birds and beasts and fish and bugs and cockroaches. They were all there by the end of the 6th day, and then God took some PTO on the 7th day.
THEN - fast forward to chapter TWO: God makes a new subdivision in the community, a garden he calls Eden. He sets Adam up in the garden. God then conjures up one of every living thing he already made, so that Adam could give them names. I don't know why God didn't give them names already but it's not my story. Maybe God was tired of doing all the work. But Adam couldn't find a single critter he was willing to get jiggy with. So God anesthetizes Adam and does a little skeletal surgery magick and voila: a woman made out of Adam's rib. Adam thought that was a cool trick and the chick was a keeper so he named her "woman" and that was that.

21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. 22 Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He [h]made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.

BUT WAIT - how can that be? What happened to the woman god made on the 6th day in Chapter 1?
So one of those two women was Lilith. Why that name? Why not. The original Old Testament was written in Aramaic, and Adam's name wasn't Adam, and Eve's name wasn't Eve. Those are English names. Not even the same alphabet. You can call Lilith Gertrude if you want, but it doesn't change the fact that according to the old testament, there were TWO women for Adam. One made on the 6th day before God rested, and another one made after he gave Adam a new home and presented all the critters for him to name.
