Edom: (a) (lit. red) Another name for Esau, called so because he sold his birthright in exchange for a red stew. (b) The nation which descended from Esau. In the rabbinic texts, Edom is often equated with Rome.
For the Haftarah of Vayishlach, From the Teachings of the Rebbe
Esau is called Edom because edom means “red,” which was the color of the lentil soup he sold his firstborn right for.
