Today, Madison is used as a name for both boys and girls, without any gender implications. When it comes to names, though, it's better for girls than for boys.
National Madison Day 2023: The 28th of November is National Madison Day. Today is a day to honor all people with the name Madison and learn about where it came from, what it means, how to say it quickly, and what makes it special. The English name Madison comes from a writing mistake in the name Mathieson, which means “son of Mathew.” At first, it was a name for boys, but it later became a popular choice for girls.
Today, Madison is used as a name for both boys and girls, without any gender implications. When it comes to names, though, it’s better for girls than for boys. When Madison was used as a boy’s name, it wasn’t nearly as well known as when it was used as a girl’s name.
Every year on National Madison Day, people all over the world celebrate all the Madisons. Madison comes from English and means “son of Maud.” It’s also thought to be an incorrect way to spell Mathieson, which clearly means “son of Mathew.” It was first used as a boy’s name, but it wasn’t very common back then. In 1903, it was the 514th most popular name for boys. From 1953 to 1986, it fell all the way to the 1,000th most popular name for boys in the United States.
That all changed when the movie “Splash” came out in 1984. The main character is a mermaid, and she chose the name Madison after seeing a New York City street sign for Madison Avenue. Many people thought the idea of a woman having Madison was funny at first. Things that happened later, though, showed that the joke was taken seriously and even copied. Before 1985, Madison wasn’t even thought of as a girl’s name. But by 2001, it was the second most popular girl’s name in the United States, and it stayed there for years. As of the most recent list, it is ranked 23rd, but it has been in the Top Ten for more than a decade.
