From Adam to Adyson
Our story of Adyson
The -son surnames became girls' names in a specific order and by a traceable route. Madison came first, boosted by a 1984 film in which a mermaid takes the name from a street sign, and it climbed into the American top ten for girls. Addison followed in the late 1990s, Emerson and Jackson later and more thinly. In each case the name arrived as a surname, was heard as a sound rather than parsed, and the -son element — which is the whole point of the word — became inaudible. That is normal: English speakers do not hear the ham in Birmingham or the wich in Norwich either. What makes this case worth noticing is that the element is not obscure or worn down. It is the ordinary modern word son, spelled exactly as it is spelled elsewhere, and it has simply stopped registering. Adyson peaks in 2007.
