Maddy is in Origin.
Maddy is an English diminutive most often linked to Madeleine/Madeline, themselves forms of Magdalene, "woman from Magdala," ultimately from Hebrew migdal, "tower." Pet forms like Maddy/Maddie appear in British and American records from the 1800s; the name began to stand alone as a given name in the late 20th century, aligning with the revival of Madeleine and the surge of Madison after the 1980s.
Because it abbreviates several names, Maddy functions as mainly feminine but sometimes unisex. As a short form of Madison (an English surname), it can carry the surname's debated sense, "son of Maud" or "son of Matthew." Common variants and spellings include Maddie, Maddi, Madi, Madie, and Mady; related international forms are Madeleine, Magdalena/Magdalena, Madalena, and Basque Maddi. Meanings range from "of Magdala; tower" to the patronymic sense via Madison.
