Madisen
“An alternate spelling of Madison, originally an English surname meaning "son of Maud" or "son of Matthew," from the medieval given name Maud (itself a Norman French form of Matilda, meaning "mighty in battle"). Madison rose to popularity as a female given name in the United States following the 1984 film Splash. Madisen is a phonetic respelling that softens the surname feel.”
Irwin
“From the Old English personal name Eoforwine, composed of eofor meaning "boar" and wine meaning "friend" — thus "boar-friend" or "friend of the boar". The boar was a symbol of courage and ferocity in Anglo-Saxon warrior culture, and the name implies a companion of that fierce, unstoppable energy. The surname Irwin developed from this Old English personal name.”
Bradly
“A variant spelling of Bradley, from the Old English Brādlēah, meaning "broad meadow" or "broad clearing" — from brād ("broad") and lēah ("meadow," "clearing," or "woodland clearing"). Bradley became a common English surname from the medieval period and transferred to given-name use in the 19th century. The Bradly spelling is a simplified American variant that drops one L.”
Cooper
“From the occupational English surname Cooper, denoting a maker or repairer of barrels, casks, and tubs — from the Middle English couper or cowper, and ultimately from the Medieval Latin cupa, "tub" or "cask." The trade was essential in the pre-industrial world for storing and transporting wine, beer, and provisions. Cooper became a given name in the 19th century through the surname-transfer tradition and has grown considerably in popularity in the 21st century.”
Twila
“Possibly from the English twilight, from the Old English twi- (two, between) combined with light — the half-light between day and night. Alternatively it may be an invented American name or a form of Twyla, which has uncertain origins. Twila emerged as a given name in the American South and Midwest in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.”
Riley
“From the Old English ryge leah, meaning "rye clearing" or "rye meadow" — a habitational surname referring to a place where rye was grown. As a given name, Riley transferred from the Irish surname Ó Raghallaigh (anglicised as O'Reilly), meaning "descendant of Raghallach," where Raghallach likely meant "valiant." By the 21st century Riley became a popular gender-neutral name in the United States.”
