Last name origin & meaning:
From the Biblical personal name Adam, which was borne,
according to Genesis, by the first man. It is the generic Hebrew term
for ‘man’, probably from Hebrew adama ‘earth’. Compare the
classical Greek legend that Zeus fashioned the first human beings from
earth. It was very popular as a personal name among non-Jews
throughout Europe in the Middle Ages, and the surname is found in one
form or another in most of the countries of Europe. Jews, however,
have never used this personal name, except in recent times under
Polish and English influence. Among Scottish and Irish bearers it is
sometimes a reduced form of McAdam.
