Sources and scholarly methodology: Etymológia: Patrick Hanks, Dictionary of American Family Names, heslá Maddox a Maddock, sprístupnené cez FamilySearch. Prenesenie priezviska na rodné meno a výslovnosť: Wiktionary – Maddox. Skloňovanie je aplikáciou všeobecných pravidiel vzoru chlap podľa Morfológie slovenského jazyka, nie citáciou osobitného hesla Maddox. Spracovanie tohto mena v monografii Milana Majtána ani jeho osobitné posúdenie JÚĽŠ SAV sa nepodarilo overiť. Štyri až sedem ustálených slovenských domáckych podôb nie je doložených použitými zdrojmi, preto je pole diminutives prázdne. Medzinárodné podoby predstavujú zachovanie pôvodného zápisu, nie doložené tradičné domáce ekvivalenty ani potvrdenie úradnej prípustnosti.
