The history of the last name Adamietz

The surname ADAMIETZ originates from Germany, with roots tracing back to the early 14th century. It is believed to have derived from the German words "Adam" and "Sitz," combining a common given name with the term for a dwelling or homestead. This suggests the name may have initially referred to someone who lived on a property owned by or associated with a person named Adam.

The earliest recorded instances of the ADAMIETZ name appear in medieval German records and manuscripts from the regions of Saxony and Brandenburg. Variations in spelling, such as ADAMSITZ, ADAMSSITZ, and ADAMIETZ, can be found in these historical documents.
