Madisen
Meaning of Madisen
Madisen is a feminine given name that emerges as an orthographic variant of Madison, itself derived from a medieval English patronymic surname meaning “son of Maud,” and thus carries with it an etymological lineage reaching back to early Anglo-Norman vernacular. In its contemporary American usage, Madisen is phonetically rendered as /ˈmeɪdəsən/, preserving the sonorous cadence of its progenitor while introducing a visually distinctive spelling that reflects late twentieth-century trends toward individualization in naming. Empirical data from the United States Social Security Administration reveal that, after a modest initial registration of eleven occurrences in 1986 and a crescendo to 378 recorded births in 2000 (rank 549), the name has gradually attenuated in frequency, registering 20 occurrences in 2024 and occupying approximately the 930th position in national popularity. Such statistical ebb and flow underscore Madisen’s status as a name of measured rarity—one which simultaneously invokes the historical depth of English onomastic tradition and the modern impulse toward personal expression through novel orthography.
