Meaning & origin
Addyson is a modern respelling of the increasingly popular name Addison, which itself derives from a medieval patronymic surname meaning 'son of Adam.' First recorded in U.S. data in 1990, Addyson reached its peak popularity in 2010, and by 2025 it ranked 1413th overall, given to roughly 1 in 10,437 newborn girls. The name's trajectory has been falling since 2010, reflecting a broader shift away from -son endings at their height. Geographically, Addyson has been most common in Mississippi, Kentucky, and Tennessee, states where variant spellings of Addison have seen particular favor. Its stylistic similarity to names like Kaydence and Janiyah underscores its place in the trend of creatively spelled, feminized surname names.
