Maddox is mainly due to the transferred use of a Welsh surname meaning "son of Madoc." The name Madoc has Celtic roots and is said to mean 'generous, indulgent', while other sources give the meaning as 'lucky'. In Welsh mythology, Madoc (or Madog) was a legendary 12th-century prince who supposedly sailed to the New World three hundred years before Christopher Columbus. The supposed son of a royal prince of Gwynedd in Wales, Madoc was forced to strike the high seas to flee the bloody feud at home between his father's many heirs. He and his fellow seafarers supposedly came to America in the 1100s and intermingled with Native Americans which resulted in a tribe of Welsh Indians speaking a form of European languages somewhere on the American frontier. Many historical and anthropological attempts have been made to test these legends, but none have so far been successful.

Well i am a 12 year old girl and my name is Vincenzina. But everyone calls me Zina. Yes, like Xena. But it really bothe's me when people call me Xena the Warrior Princess. But I love my name and it is purely Italian!!! I love my full first name, too. Except, all of my sub-teache's always miss-pronounce it. That gets annoying.
My sirname is Maddux. It is a patronymical Welsh name. Some say it means fortunate other'say it means fortitude or son of Madoc or Madag. Ap Madoc means son of Madoc while AppaMadoc means grandson of Madoc. Similar to the Mac and Mic for Scots and Irish. The early "Petty Princes" of Wales were named Madoc. The name appears in the Mabanogion or Welsh tales from which the Ledgion of King Aurthur was taken. Ledgion says Prince Madoc came to America in 1170. There is an Epic Poem written by Southey discribing the voyage. He alledgely return and made a second voyage, this time with three ships. Prince Madoc and his companions were said to have taught the indians to speak Welsh, as many indian words are similar to the Welsh language. My family spells it with a ux It is pronounced as ryming with lux. My seventh great grandfather was a burgess in the lower house of Maryland. he'spelled it Maddux as shown in the Maryland records. Other'spellings are Maddox, Mattox, Maddocks and many othe's. It came as a great suprise to me that anyone would give their child the first name Maddox. That is why I give the first name Maddox a thumbs down.
Maddox was named because they had 2 children already that their names started with M's. They liked baseball and there was a pitcher with the last name of Maddox. They said if they had another baby and it was boy, that would be his name.
Thinking of naming myself Basil(like the herb)since It's unisex; love it!
This name is awesome, It's so artistic and cute :D people like my name, because It's original. It's a great name for all ages.
A lot of people make comments about this name being "so 2018" and how Angelina gave her'son this name, but looking at name polls, the most times this name has been used was in 2016 and is continuing to rise so, can't be that "faddish" I guess. If you love it, use it!
10 year old son is named Maddox. I'm a single mother and picked it at the last minute. he's complimented constantly, and I can't imagine him as any other name. <3
My son is named Maddox (b.2017) and he gets a lot of compliments for his name. People seem to really like it.

My Husband and I named our Son Maddox. It is a strong name that'suits him well. I did not pick our Son's name bacause of Angelina. I simply LOVE it! However, we spell it different..."Maddex". Since Maddex was born, we couldin't have picked a better name.
Maddox is such a great name. Its cute and strong all at once. I know a little boy named Maddox and he is a fireball! Funny that people think of Angelina Jolie. I think that'says a lot about people being too celebrity obsessed. Maddox is a very old name and has been used for centuries. No its not Tom or John in the use category but has never the less been used. Its definitely one of my favorite names and such a relief to see some masucline sounding names amid all the Cadens and Braedens!
My son's name is Maddox(pronounced MADUX Not MADOCKS) and I love it. he is the coolest kid in the world!
Fad name. If that actress hadn't named her kid that, it wouldn't have shot up like that for the 2012 decade.
We love this name. Our 4 year old son is named Samuel Ryan, and It's been a great one so far!
Maddox is a awesome name and thats why I like as my name.
Our son's name is Maddox and we absolutely LOVE THIS NAME !!! :) No regrets at all. Plus, our son was born in 2018!!! Lol. So we are one of those 2.297 people who choose name MADDOX in 2018 :)
An intelligent point of view, well epxer'sed! Thanks!
Its our favorite name right now if this new baby is a boy. It does suck that'so many people assume we like it only because Angelina Jolie used it. We wanted another Welsh name because our daughter is named Brynn and our dog is Rhys (coincidently) so we figured we'd keep the trend going.
I love this name & named my son Maddox. Yes, Angelina Jolie made this name popular -but that's only because no one had ever heard of the name before. I named my son Maddox, because I LOVE the name.. not bc I like Angelina. Either way, I'm glad she made it "popular".
