Family Name History
The English surname Adcock is of
patronymic origin, being one of those names derived from the first name
of a father. It literally denotes "The son of Adam". The personal
name of Adam is Hebrew in origin and signifies red earth. The name was not
used by the Jews but was adopted by the Irish as early as the seventh
century when Saint Adamnan was Abbot of Iona. The suffix "cock" was always
added to the nickname of a personal name. Thus, it was attached to Ade. The
pet form of Adam and it indicates patronymic. The surname is recorded in
English documents as early as 1226. In that year Richard Hadecoc was a
resident of Leicester while Robert Adekak is listed in the Subsidy Rolls
of Worcestershire in 1275. In 1327 , the name of one John akkoc appears in
the Subsidy Rolls for Staffordshire. Variants of this surname include Adcocks,
Adcock, and Hadcock.
