Originating from Germany, the name Maddon is of occupational origin, derived from the Middle High German word 'maden', meaning 'to make'. It was traditionally given to a maker of rope or cord. Over time, the name has evolved and become more common in English-speaking countries. The name Maddon has also been associated with the Italian island of Maddalena in the Mediterranean Sea, which may contribute to its popularity as well.
"Maddon saw a peak in popularity between 2016 and 2017 with 40 and 58 births respectively, but has since declined to just 6 births in 2023."
