Madisson

Madisson is a modern English feminine given name, an elaborated spelling variant of Madison. Madison itself originated as an English surname meaning son of Maud, where Maud is a medieval contracted form of the Germanic name Mathilda, composed of elements meaning might and battle. The surname transitioned into use as a given name in the United States, gaining widespread popularity as a feminine name from the 1980s onward, partly influenced by the 1984 film Splash. Variant spellings include Madyson and Maddison.
