Madison, in this use, is a city in the north of the United States: the capital of Wisconsin, the place where that state's government sits. A big university is there too, so when people say they went to Madison they may mean the city or the university. It is not on the sea. It sits between two lakes, and winter there is long and cold. The city was named after James Madison, an early American president. The family name Madison usually meant son of Matthew; a less common story is son of Maddy, an old pet form of Maud. Though actually, English has many Madisons — towns, streets, and Madison Avenue in New York, a street so famous for advertising that people sometimes say the street when they mean that whole business. Those are not this city. This Madison is Wisconsin's capital. As a girl's first name, Madison is a later fashion, made popular by a film; that is the same spelling doing a different job.
組成Usually from Mathieson (Matthew + -son); occasionally from Middle English Maddy (a pet form of Maud) + -son. The Wisconsin city is named after President James Madison. In the film Splash, its use as a given name comes from Madison Avenue in New York.

Madisonnoun/ˈmædɪsən/
- 1
A particular line dance commonly danced to the Ike & Tina Turner song Nutbush City Limits (though predating that song's release).
- This dance with a familiar name is not to be confused with the Madison of a few years ago. The 1962 Madison is simply a twist on the Twist. [...] "The Madison was first introduced to Parisian teenagers from America by television and caught on practically overnight. There is already a nightclub called The Madison. In the nightclubs and at large parties everyone dances in lines, the best dancers in the front line so the beginners behind them can learn from the experts. The Madison is best when done with five or more couples."
- It's not everybody's shampoo and set, but the music, the humour and the dancing will strike a chord with all those old enough to remember Chubby Checker, The Madison and The Mashed Potato.
