Madelina is a form of the Greek and Hebrew name Magdalene, meaning "of Magdala," "elegant," "great," and "tower." Madelina can be an ode to the saint and disciple of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, but there's no doubt your new arrival will tell their own unique story. Will they be brave? Compassionate? Perhaps they'll be the kind to offer their last snack pack or invite the new kid in town to join their game on the playground. This name may also pull at your heartstrings if you recall the children's book, Madeline, which tells the story of a young, spirited girl and her many adventures at a Paris boarding school.
