Popular tradition claims The Bible says that Adam and Eve ate an 'apple' from the forbidden tree and a piece of got stuck in Adam's throat, hence the 'Adam's Apple' in mostly men's throat. The Bible doesn't mention any particular fruit on the 'tree'.

It is possible that a loose translation of the Hebrew term tappuach ha Adam , meaning mail bump led to the term Adams apple. In Hebrew, Adam means man, and tappuachis similar to the old Hebrew word for apple.
