Adamov (surname)

Adamov (Russian: Ада́мов; masculine) or Adamova (Ада́мова; feminine) is a Slavic surname.[1] Variants of this surname include Adam (Ада́м), Adamenko (Ада́менко), Adamenya (Адаме́ня), Adamets (Адаме́ц), Adamik (Ада́мик), Adamishin/Adamishina (Адами́шин/Адами́шина), Adamkovich (Адамко́вич), Adamovich (Адамо́вич), Adamushkin/Adamushkina (Ада́мушкин/Ада́мушкина), Adamchik (Ада́мчик), Adamchuk (Адамчу́к), Adamyshev/Adamysheva (Ада́мышев/Ада́мышева), Adamyuk (Адамю́к), Adanin/Adanina (Ада́нин/Ада́нина), and Adankin/Adankina (Ада́нькин/Ада́нькина).[1]

There are two theories as to the origins of these last names.[1] 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.[1] Forms "Adam" and "Adamovich" of this surname are the same as in the Polish language.[1]

Another theory postulates that at least some of these surnames derive from the nicknames which trace their roots to the dialectal word "адам" (adam), meaning a very tall man.[1]
