Madalyn

Madalyn is an English given name functioning as an alternative spelling of Madeleine, which itself derives from the Latin Magdalena, meaning woman from Magdala, a town on the Sea of Galilee whose name likely comes from the Hebrew migdal, meaning tower. The name became widely known through Mary Magdalene, the biblical figure who was one of Jesus's most prominent followers. Its long history in Western Europe produced numerous variants across languages, including Madeline, Madelyn, Magdalena, and Malin.
