Where the Adams name comes from

Adams is the given name Adam with an -s on the end, and the Adam underneath it is Hebrew. Used as an ordinary noun it means man, or humanity, and it belongs to the first human in the Hebrew Bible, which is how the name travelled with both the Christian and the Muslim traditions and ended up spelled much the same across most of Europe. In Arabic it carries the sense of something made from the earth's mud. The same relationship produced McAdam in Scotland and Adamski in Poland, so Adams, McAdam and Adamski are one name in three languages.
