The surname Maddison has roots in Irish history and can be traced back to the Gaelic name "Mac Mhadaidh," meaning "son of Madadh," which translates to "son of the wolf." The name originated in Ireland and was commonly found in the counties of Galway and Mayo.
During the medieval period, Ireland experienced frequent invasions and colonization attempts by various groups, including the Vikings and Normans, which greatly influenced the country's culture and surnames. The name Maddison likely evolved from the patronymic naming tradition, where individuals would adopt their father's name as their surname.
Over time, the spelling of the name Maddison may have changed due to factors such as illiteracy, dialectal variations, or Anglicization. As a result, alternative spellings such as Madison and Mattison emerged.
Irish families with the surname Maddison often migrated to other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, during times of economic hardship or political unrest. These emigrations spread the name Maddison and its variations across different continents.
Today, individuals with the surname Maddison of Irish descent can be found around the world, proudly carrying their ancestral heritage.
