Madey is in Origin.

Madey is a modern, phonetic spelling of the nickname Maddie, typically pronounced MAY-dee. As a diminutive, it draws on several longer names: French Madeleine/Madeline (ultimately from Magdalene, "woman of Magdala," linked to the Aramaic migdal, "tower"), and the English surname Madison ("son of Maud").

While diminutives like Maddy and Maddie have circulated in Britain and North America since the 19th century, Madey remains rare and largely modern, used either as a pet form or as a standalone given name; it does not currently rank in major national charts. Related variants include Mady, Madie, Madi, Maddie, and Maidie, with longer forms Madeline, Madeleine, Madelyn, Magdalena, and Madison. In some families Madey also reflects an anglicized Polish surname Madej, tied to Mateusz (Matthew, "gift of God"), offering an alternate route to meaning. Versatile and familiar yet uncommon on paper, Madey feels friendly and contemporary.
