The surname Adix is believed to have originated in the region of Normandy, France during the Middle Ages. Its roots can be traced back to the Old Norse word "add," meaning "forefather" or "ancestor," combined with the French suffix "-ix," indicating a place of origin or residence.

The earliest known record of the Adix name dates back to the 11th century, with an entry in the Domesday Book, a comprehensive survey commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1086. This entry mentions a landowner named Adix de Caen, who held estates in the village of Caen, Normandy.

In the 12th century, the Adix family gained prominence in the region of Brittany, where they were recorded as noble landowners and knights. One notable figure from this period was Sir Renaud Adix, a Breton knight who participated in the Third Crusade (1189-1192) under the command of Richard the Lionheart.

A prominent member of the Adix family during this time was Guillaume Adix, a renowned scholar and theologian who served as the Archbishop of Rouen from 1279 to 1311.

The 14th century saw the Adix name establish a presence in England, likely due to the Norman conquest and the migration of French nobles and settlers. One notable figure from this period was John Adix, a wealthy merchant who was recorded as a member of the Guild of Mercers in London in the year 1368.

In the 15th century, the Adix name continued to spread across Europe, with branches of the family settling in regions such as the Low Countries and Germany.
