Madisyn

Girl name · 15 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Madisyn: 15 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2011.

Madisyn is a modern, phonetic variant of Madison, which originated as an English surname meaning "son of Maud." Maud itself is a medieval form of Matilda, a Germanic name meaning "strength in battle." While no major historical figures bear this specific spelling, the Madison surname is famously associated with James Madison, the fourth U.S. President and a key architect of the American Constitution. The state capital of Wisconsin, Madison, was named in his honour. In Scotland, Madison has become increasingly popular as a first name since the late 1990s, often chosen for its melodic sound and unisex appeal, though the Madisyn spelling reflects a trend toward unique, personalised variations.
