Effectively, yes. And indeed to the ancient Hebrews, God was male, but no biblical author saw the need to explain this to the readers.
One of the Hebrew names used in The Bible for God was 'Elohim, which is the masculine plural form, and is different to the Hebrew word for goddess.
Another early Hebrew name for God was Yahweh (spelt YHWH, or in modern Hebrew YHVH). We now know that Yahweh was considered male, because of a number of inscriptions that have been found, referring to Yahweh and his consort, the goddess Asherah.

There is nothing in the Bible about God being a male or Female, although He is reffered to as a Him. So now a Question for you: how can Girls be made in His image, if God is a Boy?
If you attribute a male gender to God, then that's the first male name. The first male human name mentioned is Adam.
