Mady is a feminine name that comes packed with origins and meanings. Deriving from the Greek title Magdalēnḗ and the Hebrew word migdál, Mady means "of Magdala," "elegant," "great," and "tower," four definitions that are all connected to the biblical place name, Magdala. The birthplace of Mary Magdalene, Magdala was a village located on the Sea of Galilee. Mady is also often used as a shortened form of Madyson or Madison, two English names that hold the definitions "son of Maud" and "son of Matthew." While your Mady might not be a literal "son of Maud" or "son of Matthew," they'll still be amazed to hear all the monikers they carry within their name.
