Marlana

With the Old Hollywood appeal of Marlena or Marlene, Marlana is a stylish way to introduce baby to your beliefs. As a blend of Maria and Magdalene, Marlana has strong connections to the Hebrew language. It earns meanings like "sea of bitterness," "rebelliousness," "wished-for child," and "beloved" from Maria, reminding your little one that your love for them is unconditional. Magdalene translates to "of Magdala," "elegant," and "tower," referring to the village on the Sea of Galilee that was the home of Mary Magdalene. In the New Testament, Mary Magdalene was a disciple of Jesus Christ who witnessed his crucifixion and resurrection. A name like Marlana will help your child feel connected to this important biblical figure and the devotion she represents.
