This name is an anglicized form of the Gaelic O Madaidhin which means 'the descendant of Madaidhin' - a personal name from the diminutive of 'mada' or 'madra' meaning a hound or dog. The Gaelic 'O' means grandson or male descendant. The more usual anglicization of the name is Madden, and the prefix 'O' was dropped in Ireland during the centuries of English rule and did not share in the widespread resumption of 'O' and 'Mac' (a son) since the Gaelic revival. The Maddes are most numerous in counties Galway and Offaly. Modern spelling variations of the name include Madine, Madden, (O)Madagane, Maddigan, with the Gaelic O Madagain.
