The Edomites were a Semitic people. Their ancestors, like those of the Canaanites and Hebrews, are believed to have come from the Arabian peninsula.
Genesis 36:1 gives their biblical ancestor as Edom, "who is Esau." Robert M. Price (The Christ Myth Theory and Its Problems) believes that the Edomites believed that the first man created was Edom (which means 'man'), and that he entered Israelite law to become 'Adam', with Edom becoming gradually Esau, as the ancestor of the Edomites.
