American name

Stateside given name

A name commonly given in the United States, or one perceived as distinctively American rather than inherited from other naming traditions.

The term often implies Anglo-American names like Chad, Brandon, or Tiffany, though American naming practices draw from countless cultural sources.

Is Madison an American name or does it come from somewhere else?
