Magdeline Origin and Meaning

Magdeline is a feminine name derived from Magdalene, which refers to Mary Magdalene from the New Testament, one of Jesus's most devoted followers. The name comes from 'Magdala,' an ancient village on the Sea of Galilee, meaning 'tower' in Aramaic. This variant spelling offers a slightly more distinctive take on the traditional Magdalene. Throughout history, the name has represented devotion and faithfulness. While less common than Magdalene or the shortened Magda, Magdeline maintains the spiritual connection while providing a unique spelling. The name carries an air of classical elegance and historical depth that appeals to parents looking for names with religious significance and timeless quality.
