|
“Madden” |
Recorded
as Madain, Madden, Maddin,
Madigan and MacAvaddy, this is a famous Irish
surname. It derives from the pre 10th century Olde
Gaelic name O'Madain, translating as the descendant
of the son of the hound. The hound is famous in Gaelic heraldry having the
virtues of speed, endurance, and loyalty. Most Irish surnames originate from
a chief's nickname. |
