Resumen
- No one named Maddox appears in the Bible, and the name has no Hebrew form or meaning.
- Maddox comes from a Welsh surname meaning “son of Madoc.” Madoc, from Old Welsh Matauc, is formed from mad, “good, fortunate.”
- “Fortunate son” and “beneficent” run the two parts together: “good” or “fortunate” is the meaning of Madoc.
- Names that identify a man by his father also appear in the New Testament: Bartholomew means “son of Talmai” (Matthew 10:3), and Barnabas “son of encouragement” (Acts 4:36).
- Maddox entered the American top 1,000 for boys in 2003, the year after Angelina Jolie gave it to her adopted son, and peaked at 136th in 2017.
