Meaning

a form of Madison, from an English surname meaning "son of Matthew" or "son of Maud"

The story

Australian tennis player Maddison Inglis once stepped onto court for Japan at the Hopman Cup. In 2018, the Perth-born nineteen-year-old replaced Naomi Osaka at short notice to face the American CoCo Vandeweghe. Inglis was then ranked 771 in the world, facing an opponent ranked tenth. Her double-d spelling is a variant of Madison, from an English surname that can mean son of Matthew or son of Maud. The one-d form gets a literal naming scene in Splash, whose character chooses Madison after seeing a Madison Avenue street sign in New York. Inglis’s unexpected change was to the team beside her name: an Australian filling Japan’s place against an American, for one match that ended in a loss in two sets.

Austria

last on record 2024

Maddison is not on the 2025 record for Austria, which publishes every first name down to a single birth, so the name was not given there that year.
The count never rose above 1 in a year, too few to chart.

Live births in Austria by year of birth, 1984–2025, from Statistik Austria’s first-name statistics; spellings that differ only by special characters are counted together (umlauts stay apart), every name down to a single birth is published, and the count covers babies with Austrian citizenship only until 2009, every baby from 2010, and from 2015 also births abroad to mothers living in Austria. Shares divide by Statistik Austria’s count of live births from 2010, and before that by the file’s own total for the year.

peak 19982025

share of that year’s top-100 registrations

New South Wales (not all of Australia) publishes only each year’s 100 most popular names per sex, so a missing year means below that top 100, not rare. Source: NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, popular baby names

Poland

last on record 2022

Maddison is not on the 2025 record for Poland, where names given fewer than 2 times in a year are withheld at source.
The count never rose above 3 in a year, too few to chart.

First names given to children born in Poland by year of birth, 2000–2025, from the PESEL population register (Ministry of Digital Affairs); exact spellings count separately (Łukasz and Lukasz are different names), names given fewer than 5 times in a year were left off the list through 2012 and fewer than 2 times from 2013, and the register also counts children born abroad, so its yearly sums run above Poland’s live births. Shares divide by the register’s own published total for the year, never by births. Source: Ministry of Digital Affairs, PESEL register (dane.gov.pl)

Not on the record in Puerto Rico: that registry withholds small counts, so rare uses may sit below its floor.

Not on the Montevideo record for 1940 to 2011: that registry withholds nothing, so this spelling was not given there in those years. Not on the France record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 20 births in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on Norway’s list: Statistics Norway lists only first names carried by 200 or more living people, so rarer names are not shown.
