Meaning & origin
Maudean is a vintage feminine name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1917, with its peak usage in 1927. It has remained rare, never breaking into the top 1000 names. The name's trajectory has been stable in its obscurity, and no top states of usage are recorded. Maudean exemplifies the early 20th-century trend of creating elaborate feminine forms of established names, blending the familiar Maude with the fashionable -ean suffix seen in names like Dean or Jeanine.
Maudean appears to be a 20th-century coinage, blending the name Maude (a medieval English feminine form of Matthew) with the fashionable suffix -ean. Maude itself derives from the Germanic name Mathilda, meaning 'strength in battle'. The name Maudean saw modest use primarily in the United States during the early to mid-1900s.
