Maddi

Meaning of Maddi

Maddi, a feminine given name utilized in Anglo-American contexts, derives from Madeline (or Madeleine) and Madison and ultimately traces its etymology to the Greek Magdalene—Μαγδαληνή—denoting “of Magdala”; pronounced /ˈmæ.di/, it functions as a succinct, two-syllable diminutive that balances modern colloquial usage with traditional Christian heritage. Over the past four decades, it has maintained a consistent albeit low-frequency presence within the United States Social Security Administration’s annual rankings, with its 2024 incidence of fourteen registrations securing the 936th position—a placement reflecting historical fluctuations between a high of twenty-nine occurrences (2008, 2013) and a low of seven (1987, 1988), resulting in rank variations across the 800–960 range. Its technical clarity, formal orthography, and etymological depth render it particularly suitable for individuals seeking an appellation that is both concise and historically resonant, despite its relative rarity in the wider onomastic landscape.
