Sounds like the name 'Adaza' may be derived from 'Adze' - or vice
versa.

In france we call it 'beche' or une 'binette'.

The beche is the larger bladed implement. At home, we used to call it
a beche or a houe. , The binette the one with a small blade in front,
and two spikes in the back - as they appear on the website posted by
the OP.
These are the implements we used in the garden when I was a kid, to dig
planting trenches or weed (the binette for the latter job, or for
smaller trenches). I had to come to Ireland to discover the dutch hoe
and other such weeding implements.
