Adamov (surname)
Adamov (russian: Ада́мов; masculine) or Adamova (; feminine) is a Slavic surname.Ganzhina, p. 14 There are two theories as to the origins of this last name. According to the most commonly accepted one, they derive from various forms of the Christian masculine given name Adam, which was common in the Ukrainian and Belarusian languages. Another theory postulates that at least some of these surnames derive from the nicknames which trace their roots to the dialectal word "" (''adam''), meaning ''a very tall man''.

Surname
In some cultures, a surname, family name, or last name is the portion of one's personal name that indicates one's family, tribe or community. Practices vary by culture. The family name may be placed at either the start of a person's full name, as the forename, or at the end; the number of surnames given to an individual also varies. As the surname indicates genetic inheritance, all members of a family unit may have identical surnames or there may be variations; for example, a woman might marry and have a child, but later remarry and have another child by a different father, and as such both children could have different surnames. It is common to see two or more words in a surname, such as in compound surnames. Compound surnames can be composed of separate names, such as in traditional Spanish culture, they can be hyphenated together, or may contain prefixes. Using names has been documented in even the oldest historical records. Examples of surnames are documented in the 11th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Adam (given Name)
Adam is a common masculine given name in the English language, of Hebrew origin. According to the Bible, the personal name ''Adam'' derives from the noun ''adamah'' meaning "the ground" or "earth". But it is likely folk etymology. Its Biblical and Quranic uses have ensured that it is also a common name in all countries which draw on these traditions. It is particularly common in Christian and Muslim majority countries. In most languages its spelling is the same, although the pronunciation varies somewhat. Adán and Adão are the Spanish and Portuguese forms of this name, respectively. Adam is also a surname in many countries, although it is not as common in English as its derivative Adams (sometimes spelled Addams).
