Historical Context
Addysen developed as a modern spelling variant of Addison. Addison began as an English surname, formed from the medieval personal name Addie or Adde, a pet form connected with Adam, plus the old surname ending meaning "son of". As surname names became increasingly used as given names, Addison gained use for both sexes. Addysen follows the same sound and origin, with the y spelling reflecting a more recent naming style.
