Addyson

Addyson is a modern English feminine given name that originated as a variant spelling of Addison, itself derived from a medieval English surname meaning son of Adam. The underlying name Adam traces back to the Hebrew name Aḏam, traditionally connected to the Hebrew word for earth or ground. Addyson and its alternate spellings Addison and Adyson gained popularity as feminine given names in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, likely boosted by the television series Grey's Anatomy, which featured a prominent character named Addison.
