Creation and Usage Notes

In the etymology I say that the name is ultimately from Madison, but it seems likely that by this point it would be thought of as a Trigedasleng name whose etymology has been lost. In other words, neither she nor other Grounders would be likely to know that the name came from Madison, and so it would be thought of as a native Trigedasleng name.
