Adidas as a given name did not exist prior to the establishment of the Adidas brand in 1949. It was initially used solely as a company name and trademark, rather than a personal name. The widespread recognition and popularity of the Adidas brand eventually led to some parents choosing to name their children after the iconic athletic label.
