Madyson is English in Origin.
Madyson is a modern respelling of Madison, an English patronymic surname meaning Maud’s son. Maud is the medieval form of Matilda, derived from Germanic elements for strength and battle, giving the name an undertone of sturdy resolve despite its surname origin. Some sources also connect Madison to son of Matthew, though most etymologists favor the Maud/Matilda line. As a given name, Madison appeared on boys in the United States in the 19th and early 20th centuries (helped by President James Madison’s prominence), then surged for girls after the 1984 film Splash; Madyson rides that contemporary trend.
Today Madyson is used chiefly for girls in North America and Australasia, with occasional unisex use. Common variants include Madison, Maddison (especially in the UK), Madisen, Madisyn, and Madysen. Friendly diminutives are Madi, Mady, and Maddie.
