Meaning & Origin
A female given name transferred from the surname.
Madisyn is a girl's and boy's baby name of Old English origin, a creative spelling of Madison, from the surname meaning 'son of Maud' or 'mighty in battle,' derived from the medieval name Maud (from Matilda).
The Y-for-I substitution is a common American spelling creativity that gives this hugely popular name a slightly more distinctive written form. Madison has been a top girls' name since the mid-1980s, and Madisyn's variant spelling provides the same sound with a more individual identity on paper.
