Magdaline

Magdaline is a girl's name with a long and exciting history and stems from Magdalene, a Greek name with Hebrew roots meaning "of Magdala," "elegant," "high," and "tower." Although it brings to mind Mary Magdalene, a saint and Jesus' companion, many fascinating women have born the name throughout history. Those with a sweet tooth may recall the delectable cake-like dessert madeleines. As the story goes, these treats were named after a French chef during the 18th century.
