Name Meaning
Transferred use of the surname, in origin a metronymic from the medieval woman's given name Madde, a short form of Madeleine or Maud . It was taken up in the United States, its use as a given name apparently influenced by the statesman James Madison ( 1751–1836 ), who was president during the War of 1812 and took part in drafting the U.S. constitution and Bill of Rights. It is currently enjoying something of a vogue as a girl's name, perhaps in Britain more closely associated with the streets of New York than the politician.
