📖 About Adison
Adison is a modern simplified spelling of Addison, an English patronymic surname meaning "son of Adam." The root name Adam comes from the Hebrew adamah, meaning "earth" or "ground," connecting Adison to one of the oldest naming traditions in the Abrahamic world. Originally a masculine surname, the name crossed into given-name territory in the late 20th century and underwent a dramatic gender shift, becoming overwhelmingly popular as a girls' name in the United States by the early 2000s. The simplified Adison spelling emerged as part of the creative-spelling movement in American baby naming.
