Madyson is a modern phonetic spelling of Madison, an English surname meaning “son of Maud” — Maud itself being a medieval form of Matilda, from the Germanic *maht* meaning “might” or “strength.” This styling rose in popularity as parents sought unique versions of the popular Madison, itself famously borne by American actress Madison Pettis. The place connection comes via the United States capital of Wisconsin, Madison, named after President James Madison, whose surname shares the same root. As a further note, while Madyson is distinctly feminine in modern use, its Madison origin was originally a patronymic surname, reflecting a broader trend of creative spellings that give an older name a fresh, individual feel.
