I can't explain how much I LOVE this name! Sweet, pretty, feminine, amazing spelling, well aged, intelligent, and so much more! My favorite spellings of Madison, Madyson, Madisyn, etc.
My name is Madisyn and I love it because my name means a mighty warrior and hey, that means I’m tough although I’m not a boy being a mighty warrior makes me feel happy. God created me like this and I love the way I am although I’m 12 and have different opinions than most adults it does not matter. All that matters to me is my wonderful beautiful name whoever is reading this whose name is Madisyn your name is gorgeous and nothing can change that. The name Madison is common and is getting less fun or popular try Madisyn for and example that name is fun and popular I’m happy with my name nobody can change my name or the way it means I’m happy and that is all that matters. My friends love my name and how I act to them so don't get those hate comments in your head. Think of the thoughtful ones ones that matter and make you happy, the other comments are just paper that should go in the trash hehe. So listen to me girls, you are beautiful the way you are, your name is Madisyn because you're tough, kind and generous to others. This is some research I found“Madisyn is an Americanized respelling of the ever-popular female name Madison. Madison comes from the transferred use of an English surname. The surname is derived from maternal ancestors and comes from the medieval female given name “Madde” which was a short form of Maud. Maud, in turn, is a colloquial form of Matilda (Latin) from the Germanic words “maht” (might) and “hild” (battle). Madison was taken up as a given name (for boys) in America apparently influenced by the 4th U.S. President, James Madison, who was one of the country’s Founding Fathers. It could also be considered a place name when referring to Madison, Wisconsin. Today, Madison (and her altered spellings like Madisyn) is exclusively female. As the name Madison became so popular in the United States, other English-speaking nations adopted this trendy name (it’s a Top 50 favorite in Canada, England, Australia and Northern Ireland). As often happens in America, when a name becomes ultra-trendy, reinvented spellings begin to emerge. They are Maddison, Madisyn and Madyson (in order of current popularity).”PersonalityOF THE GIRL NAME MADISYNThe number Four personality is marked by stability and discipline. This is the personality that follows the rules and is conservative by nature. They have an earth-bound energy that prefers to build things methodically on top of firm foundations; they don't cut corners. Fours take their time and don't like to be hurried. But the outcome of their endeavors is likely to result in some strong and useful structure, which makes them great engineers and inventors. Fours are anything but frivolous or controversial. This is a trustworthy, straight-forward personality that embodies dedication and organization. They are the backbone and anchor in their relationships, careers and communities. They are tidy, punctual, and full of integrity. Hard-work comes naturally to a Four and they are immensely reliable. This is the personality you can always count onPopularityOF THE GIRL NAME MADISYNThe respelling of Madisyn first appeared on the American female naming charts in 1997. In the past 15 or so years, the name has mainly increased in usage. Today, Madisyn is the third most popular spelling for this name. Madison is by far the most popular, followed by Maddison (although Madisyn is in neck and neck competition with Maddison for second place). Still, 82% of the baby girls born today who receive this moniker have it spelled the traditional way (Madison). About 6% of the girls get Madisyn. The particularly unique spelling of Madisyn is ranked on the Top 100 list in Mississippi, but nationwide, it is only used semi-moderately (about 1000 baby girls a year). Whereas Madison is given to about 13,000 baby girls per year! The “Madison” family of names is so ϋber-trendy and dangerously overused that many Americans consider this name the poster child for “sheep” mentality. Nonetheless, this ‘mighty battler’ persists in popularity and has dug her stubborn little heels into the female naming charts. Madison and her respelled sisters have become a modern day favorite.Quick FactsON MADISYNGENDER: Girl ORIGIN: American NUMBER OF SYLLABLES: 3 RANKING POPULARITY: 460 PRONUNCIATION: MAD-uh-sen SIMPLE MEANING: Mighty Battle CharacteristicsOF MADISYNDependableSolidPracticalHard-workingIndustriousStudiousConservativeCharacteristicsOF MADISYNDependableSolidPracticalHard-workingIndustriousStudiousConservativeIf you read this all then you should know you're amazing!

My daughter's name is Madisyn and we still love it and so does she! I figured since I’m the only one on here with a personal experience with the name I would go ahead and comment on it. For all the people on here who hate it because of the spelling, well I hate to break it to you but that’s not an uncommon thing to have multiple spellings of a name anymore, lol. My name is Alyssa and nobody spells my name correctly because there are dozens of ways to spell it apparently, hubby's name is Sean and he is always getting asked if it’s with an E or an H or even a W lol for every negative comment on here I’ve gotten dozens of positive feedback from people who love the spelling and who have also stated it does look more feminine, don’t know why it does, maybe it’s because you’re taking the word son out of Madison? As for it being over popular and trendy, she’s only run into three other Madison’s in her entire life and she’s 8 now. Anyways 2020 is coming up and people seem to have a lot of hate towards baby names and there are some very interesting names trending, so it sounds like some angry individuals are gonna have full time jobs writing hateful comments on baby names that don’t affect them personally in any way lol. If you are a parent to be who is interested in this name don’t let some negative comment sway your opinion. It’s a cute name and you will get lots of compliments on it, plus Madi is seriously the cutest nickname ever:) Also, my daughter is super outdoorsy, very into rock climbing and sports but also respectful and kind, so I think her name suits her perfectly because that’s how I picture a girl with this name.
The Y definitely softens the spelling and makes it look much more feminine. Language is constantly evolving and the US is definitely adopting the pattern of using the Y spellings of traditional male surnames to feminize. Many of the variant forms I have seen in past years (including this one) are fun, flirty, and refreshing.
I think Madisyn spelled differently is unique in a way. It sounds fancy and gives this sort of royalty and beauty to the name. Madison spelled commonly sounds dull. (Anyone with their name spelled like that I'm not criticizing you!) The common way you spell Madison does give off the royalty vibe but not much of the unique vibe, but Madison spelled differently is still a beautiful name, even the original.

A famous bearer is Madisyn Shipman, she is an actress in Nickelodeon's Game Shakers and in The Peanuts Movie (2015).
I have the name Madisyn and I believe this name is beautiful. It just makes me feel different and people think my name is cute and yes, it does get a little annoying with people misspelling it, but it is a wonderful name that my parents loved.

Definitely the worst spelling of this annoying and obnoxious name. Sorry but can we please just stick with Madison? (Maybe Maddison) why does Madisyn & Madyson need to be listed as well? 2 spelling variations of this name within the charts would be far better than 4!Also, no offence to anyone who bears this name, named their child this, plan to or know someone with this name (any spelling variation) I just picture a child that is bratty and spoiled turned fake-personality adult. Also if you do go with this name and with this spelling, you will look forever illiterate and uneducated but if that doesn't bother you...

My girlfriend's name is Madisyn, I think it's very pretty. Madison is so general and boring, why not make your name interesting? Also, does anyone know the meaning of Madisyn? I looked it up but I can only find info on Madison.
To the poster above, I think the only reason you can only find info on Madison is because Madisyn is the same name, just a different spelling. They both have the same meaning, I suppose.
I really dislike all the trendy, kre8tive spellings for perfectly lovely names like Madison, Catherine, Caitilin, Jasmine, etc. I don't get why people need to misspell their children's names. It just makes it look cheap, overly trendy, and trashy.
What is it with Americans today, thinking a 'y' in the position of the unstressed vowel turns a name feminine? One could argue, of course, that since the ''syn'' means nothing, the name doesn't have the masculine meaning 'son of', but it's still just a silly, youthful spelling of Madison. Very bland.
Madisyn is a variant of Madison - a boys name. You can't change the meaning just by replacing the 'o' with an 'y'.

I totally agree. Madison seems like James Madison and yet Madisyn sounds like 'Maddie-sin" or "Maddie-sun" not 'Maddie-son". I'd pick this name over Maddison or Madison any day!
I know a family who is going to adopt a little Chinese baby girl and name her Madisyn, because where we live there is an area called Madison County, and they did not want it to be spelled like the county name. This name is unique, and I think the little girl will like it. I know I do!
