Madison is usually said to mean son of Maude. Maude comes from Old French's Mahaut, a doublet of Matilda. Matilda is from Middle English but comes from Old French just like Mahaut, in Old French it was Mathilde, which comes from Old High German's Mahthilt, which comes also from Old High German's maht meaning might and hilta meaning battle which was mentioned above. The German equivalent to Matilda is Mechthild and Old English's version of Mæþhild. In Faroese there is a female version of the name Matilda due to how last names work in that culture/language which is Matildudóttir In Icelandic it would be something like Madisondottir which would mean daughter of son of Maude thus perhaps one could use Madidottir.
