Madelyne

The girl's name Madelyne has survived a long journey from its original Greek form of Magdalene. Stemming from the Hebrew root migdál, Madelyne can be interpreted to mean "of Magdala," "elegant," "great," and "tower." Over the years, it's belonged to many captivating women, most notably Mary Magdalene, a saint, companion, and disciple of Jesus. If you grew up reading the children's book series Madeline, you might feel super nostalgic about the small but fiery little girl living in a Paris boarding school.
