What is the meaning of the name Madisun ?

Madisun is English in Origin.

Madisun is a modern, stylistic respelling of Madison, an English surname that arose as a patronymic meaning “son of Maud,” with Maud a medieval form of Matilda (“strength in battle”). Some families have reinterpreted the base as Matthew, but the Maud derivation is the standard in onomastics. The -sun ending is decorative rather than etymological, yet it adds a bright, upbeat feel while preserving the original sense.

As a given name, Madison appeared in North America in the 19th century chiefly for boys, then shifted decisively feminine in the late 20th century - its meteoric rise boosted by the 1984 film Splash. Madisun surfaces from the 1990s onward across the U.S. and other Anglophone countries as part of creative respellings. It remains rarer than Madison and cousins like Madisyn or Madyson. Related variants include Madison, Maddison, Madisyn, Madisen, Madyson, and Madysen.
