Maddey is in Origin.

Maddey is a modern English given name, an inventive spelling of Maddie/Maddy, the familiar short form of Madeleine/Madeline and sometimes Madison. Through Madeleine (the French form of Magdalene), it traces back to Hebrew migdal, “tower,” giving the sense of a woman from Magdala and the figurative meaning “high tower/strength.” Via Madison, a medieval English surname meaning “son of Maud” (Maud from Matilda, “mighty in battle”), it also carries a surname-derived lineage.

Used as a nickname for centuries, the stand-alone diminutive surged in the late 20th and early 21st centuries alongside the popularity of Madeline/Madeleine and Madison in the U.K., U.S., and Australia. Spelling variants include Maddie, Maddy, Madi, Madie, Mady, Maddi, and Maddeigh; longer related forms are Madeleine, Madeline, Magdalena, and Madison. Maddey feels contemporary and approachable while preserving older meanings of fortitude and steadfastness.
