Meaning:*
This name means Son of Maud, Matthew’s son. Madison is a popular female given name in the United States. From a practically non-existent girl’s name before 1985, Madison rose to be the second most popular name given to female babies in 2001. Originally Madison was only used as a surname, a variant of Mathieson, meaning son of Matthew, although occasionally standing for Maddy’s son, where Maddy is a pet form of “Maud” linked to the Germanic root: “mahthildis.” 1) “maud,” mighty in battle, strong in combat. The name derives from the Old High German name “Mahthilt,” composed of two Ancient Germanic elements: “*mahti-” (might, power, ability) plus “*hildiz” (battle, fight). 2) “Matthew” gift of the Lord, the gift of Yahweh, the gift of Jehovah. It is a given name that ultimately comes from the Hebrew name mattithyâh / mattithyâhû. It was first named to Saint Matthew, who was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus in Christian Theology and is the author of Matthew’s Gospel.
