No, the biblical land of Canaan was not named after Adam's son Cain. Canaan is believed to have derived from the ancient Semitic root "K-N-‘," which is associated with the notion of "lowland." The region is often associated with the descendants of Canaan, a grandson of Noah, as described in The Bible. Therefore, the name Canaan has different origins and is not directly linked to Cain.
