  1. No it's from England


  2. No its Scots/English. You will find many people in ireland called Adams but it's most likely the name was brought over by Ulster Scots... And yes that includes Gerry Adams.

  3. òn Bìobla .. an universal Judaic-Christian name.

  4. not sure.....

  5. Not particularly, all it means son of adam, and as Adam is not particularly an Irish name, I wouldn't say that has a strong link to being Irish.

  6. is that not a biblical name?

  7. I think it's English/Scottish.

  8. nah...its hebrew...

  9. The name Adams in Ireland is of immigrant origin having been brought to the country by settlers who arrived into the Province of Ulster in the seventeenth century. It is sometimes used as a synonym of Aidy and Eadie in County Down

  10. Think it's more English than Irish. Though Gerry Adams is very Irish!!
