addyson is English in Origin.

Addyson is a modern English given name derived from the surname Addison, a patronymic meaning "son of Adam." The surname itself comes from Addie, a medieval diminutive of Adam (from Hebrew adam, "man; earth"), plus the suffix -son. The y in Addyson is a contemporary respelling that emerged with late-20th-century surname-as-first-name trends, especially in North America.

As a forename, Addison began as masculine, reflecting its patronymic origin, but shifted toward unisex and now skews strongly feminine in the United States and Canada, a rise accelerated by early-2000s pop culture. Addyson followed the same trajectory, charting highest in the 2010s and remaining in use chiefly for girls, though it is not exclusively feminine. Common nicknames include Addy/Addie. Close variants are Addison, Addisyn, Adyson, and Adison; related forms abroad are rare. Contemporary meanings are often softened to "child of Adam" to reflect its cross-gender use.
