Origin Displayed: Italian

Where did the Italian D'Adamo family come from? What is the Italian coat of arms/family crest? When did the D'Adamo family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the history of the family name?

The distinguished surname D'Adamo can be traced back to the ancient and beautiful region of Emilia-Romagna. Although people here were originally known by a single name, it gradually became necessary for them to adopt a second name to identify themselves as populations grew and travel became more frequent. The process of adopting fixed hereditary surnames was not complete until the modern era, but the use of hereditary family names in Italy began in the 10th and 11th centuries. The most common type of family name found in the region of Emilia-Romagna is the patronymic surname, which is derived from the father's given name. The surname D'Adamo came from the personal name Adam, the first person who used the name. The surname is further derived from the Latin Adamus which means earth.
