Adamov (Russian: Ада́мов; masculine) or Adamova (Ада́мова; feminine) is a Slavic surname.
[1] There are two theories as to the origins of this last name.
[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] 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.
