Maddilyn is a modern American elaboration of the Madeline/Madelyn family, formed by blending that classic base with the fashionable -lyn ending.

As a given name, Maddilyn gained traction in the late 20th and early 21st centuries amid the rise of creative respellings and -lyn forms in the United States.
