Madelina

Madelina is the Madeline equivalent used in many European cultures. While it's a simple and melodic name, like its mother name it can lead to lots of spelling and pronunciation problems. The first syllable may be "may" or rhyme with dad; last two syllables pronounce lee-na, though of course some will inevitably say lye-na. Only a handful of girls received this name in the US last year, making it a distinctive and pretty classic, but don't choose it ignoring its very real down side.

Pronounced mad-uh-LEE-nuh.

As of October 2026, Madelina ranked #8156 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3650 in 1915.
