Thinking about the name
Maddison
English origin
“Originally derived from Old English meaning 'son of Madde,' Maddison transformed from a masculine surname into one of the most popular feminine given names of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The shift reflects broader naming trends where surnames became first names and masculine-origin names were feminized. Maddison conveys contemporary style while maintaining English heritage.”
