      Variations

      Madden, Maddox, Maddux
      The name Maddex traces its origins to the English language and is derived from the patronymic name Madoc, which means Son of Madoc. Madoc itself is a Welsh given name, most commonly associated with the historical figure of Madoc ap Owain Gwynedd. Born in the 12th century, Madoc ap Owain Gwynedd was a prince of the Welsh Kingdom of Gwynedd. It is believed by some that he embarked on a legendary journey across the Atlantic, making him an intriguing figure of Welsh folklore and American historical speculation.

      In modern-day usage, the name Maddex continues to have a modest presence, primarily as a given name rather than a name. It is most commonly found in English-speaking countries, especially the United States and the United Kingdom. While not among the most frequently used names, Maddex has gained some popularity, perhaps owing to its distinctive sound and connection to the traditional English name Madoc. Its usage generally follows the trend of choosing unique and individualized names for children, while still retaining a sense of familiarity and historical significance. Overall, the name Maddex, with its rich etymology, showcases the enduring appeal of patronymic names and the influence of Welsh heritage on English names.
