Adison Origin and Meaning

The name Adison is a boy's name.

Adison is a masculine name that originated as a variant spelling of Addison, which was traditionally an English surname meaning 'son of Adam.' The name combines 'Adam' (from Hebrew, meaning 'earth' or 'man') with the suffix '-son.' While Addison has become quite popular as a girl's name in recent decades, Adison with one 'd' remains more commonly used for boys. This alternative spelling gives the name a slightly more contemporary feel while maintaining its English heritage. As a first name, Adison began gaining modest usage in the United States during the late 20th century, part of the trend of transforming surnames into given names. The name conveys a sense of strength and tradition while still feeling relatively modern.
