Adamec is a West Slavic patronymic and diminutive formed from the biblical name Adam, built with the -ec suffix common in Czech, Slovak, and Slovene. It literally conveys "son of Adam" or "little Adam." Adam ultimately derives from Hebrew 'adam/'adamah, "man; earth," evoking humankind's origin from the soil. In Central Europe Adamec is best known as a surname, though it is sometimes adopted as a distinctive given name in Czech- and Slovak-influenced communities.

The name arose as medieval Christian use of Adam spread, and by the late Middle Ages Adamec had stabilized as a hereditary family name in Bohemia and Upper Hungary (present-day Czechia and Slovakia). Related variants include Adámek/Adamek (Czech, Polish), Adamik (Slovak, Polish), Adamiec (Polish), and the Hungarian-influenced Adamecz; the base name appears across languages as Adam, Ádám (Hungarian), Adán (Spanish), and Adamo (Italian).
