Historical Context

Adisyn is a recent English-language spelling variant of Addison. Addison began as an English surname, formed from the sense of "Adam's son". As surnames increasingly became given names, Addison developed broad unisex use and became especially familiar for girls in North America. Adisyn follows that modern naming pattern, using y in place of part of the more traditional spelling.
