Madalyne Origin and Meaning

The name Madalyne is a girl's name meaning "of Magdala".

Madalyne is a feminine name that represents a variation of Madeline or Magdalene. The name ultimately derives from 'Magdalene,' referring to Mary Magdalene in the New Testament, and is connected to Magdala, a place name meaning 'tower' in Hebrew.

This specific spelling combines the traditional name with a more modern 'y' and the feminine ending '-ne.' Madalyne offers a slight twist on the more common Madeline, but perhaps not one that improves it and only complicates spelling and pronunciation.
