About Madrigal

An offbeat musical name, that also means "simple, ingenuous" from its Spanish origins. More familiar as a surname, it appears in the Disney film, Encanto and the novel Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree.

Madrigal for boys

A unisex choice, nicknames Maggie, Maddie, or Mallie may make it lean more feminine. Madrigal was given to zero babies of either gender last year.

Madrigal for girls

Madrigal might be a pretty and highly distinctive choice for a child of a musical family--or for the parent looking for a less conventional path to the nickname Maddie than Madeline or Madison . Definitely more striking than Cadence or even the increasingly popular Aria.

The word madrigal refers both to a medieval short lyrical poem and a form of vocal chamber music that originated in the Italian Renaissance. And on a completely different note, you may have heard it on the TV show Breaking Bad as the name of an industrial conglomerate or in the Disney movie Encanto, as a surname.

Pronounced MAD-ri-gul.
