Adamec Origin and Meaning

The name Adamec is a boy's name of Czech origin.

Adamec is a masculine name of Slavic origin, functioning primarily as a surname in Czech, Slovak, and other Slavic languages before emerging as an occasional first name. It derives from 'Adam' (meaning 'earth' or 'man' in Hebrew) with the Slavic diminutive suffix '-ec,' essentially meaning 'son of Adam' or 'little Adam.' This uncommon name carries both biblical connections through its root and distinct Slavic heritage through its suffix. While well-established in Eastern European countries, Adamec remains rare elsewhere, giving it an exotic quality in Western contexts. The name combines ancient roots with a strong cultural identity, appealing to parents seeking to honor Slavic heritage or find a distinctive alternative to the more common Adam.
