Adashev

Adashev (; masculine) or Adasheva (; feminine) is a Russian last name.
There are three theories regarding the origins of this last name. The most plausible one relates it to a Turkic word "adaš", meaning "namesake", "comrade", "friend". It is also possible that this last name derives from nickname "" ("Adash"), itself derived from a Vologda and Yaroslavl dialectal word "" ("adat"), meaning "to cry", "to yell". Finally, it could have developed from the diminutive forms of the Christian first names Adrian and Adam.
