Adams Coat of Arms

The surname Adams, of Irish descent, has a rich history that can be traced back to ancient times. It is believed to have originated from the personal name Adam, which derives from the Hebrew word "adamah," meaning "red earth" or "earth." In Ireland, the surname Adams is predominantly found in the province of Ulster, particularly in the counties of Antrim, Down, and Armagh. These counties have historical significance as they were the center of Scottish and English settlements during the plantation of Ulster in the 17th century. During this period, many Scottish and English families, including those with the surname Adams, migrated to Ireland under the patronage of the British crown. These settlers played a significant role in shaping the demographics and culture of Ireland, bringing with them their surnames and traditions. The surname Adams can also be found among the Irish diaspora in other parts of the world. During the Great Famine of the mid-19th century, many Irish people emigrated to escape poverty and famine. As a result, the surname Adams spread to countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Today, the surname Adams continues to be a common name among people of Irish descent, symbolizing their ancestral ties and the enduring legacy of migration and cultural exchange.
