Madison - Baby Name Meaning, Origin, and Popularity

May 2024 ยท 1 minute read

The name Madison is a boy's name of English origin meaning "son of Matthew".

Madison was at one time a strictly boys' presidential name, reaching as high as Number 311 at the end of the nineteenth century. That all changed in 1985 when it entered the girls' list, zooming up quickly until it reached the Number 2 spot, with more than 22,000 female babies given the name in 2001. As is so often the case, its use for boys has dropped precipitously.
