Maddisan is English in Origin.

Maddisan is a modern respelling of Madison, an English surname-turned-given name. Madison itself derives from "son of Maud," Maud being the medieval form of Matilda (from Germanic maht "might, strength" + hild "battle"). Though its literal patronymic means "son of Maud," contemporary use reads more broadly as "descendant of strength in battle."

As a given name, Madison rose sharply in the late 20th century, especially after the 1984 film Splash, becoming a staple for girls in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the UK, while remaining unisex in origin. It also appeared earlier as a male given name in honor of U.S. President James Madison. Maddisan follows the trend of creative spellings alongside Maddison, Madisen, Madisyn, Madyson, and Madisson. Usage of this variant is rarer and often chosen for distinctiveness while retaining the same meaning and pronunciation (typically MAD-ih-suhn).
