Addison
The name Addison comes from Scotland and was primarily used as a surname. The meaning of Addison is 'the son of Addie’. In the medieval period, Addie was the nickname given by Scottish people to those called Adam. Thus, the name Addison translates to ‘son of Adam’. In the Bible, it states that Adam was the first-ever man on earth and was created by God. Coming from the Hebrew name ‘Adamah’ which meant ‘the ground’, ‘the earth’ or ‘the one formed from the ground’, the name Addison can mean ‘son of the ground’ or ‘son of the Man’. Though it was traditionally used as a name for boys, Addison increased in popularity with the character Addison Montgomery, a doctor and fan favourite on the show Grey's Anatomy. Addison continues to be a favourite amongst parents and has been in the top 200 baby names in the United States for the last 5 years.
