Frankenstein is a surname. The mad scientist's name was Dr. Victor Frankenstein. Since the monster wasn't endowed with a first name, the only name it would have is Frankenstein: the same last name as its father.

You should at least read the source before you spout off. The monster's first name is Adam. And as an aside he speaks and reads three languages. You probably think he was slow and clumsy too.

His name isn't Adam. He just makes a comparison between himself and Adam from the Bible. The quote is:

Remember that I am thy creature; I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed.
