Madelaine

Madelaine is an English feminine name and an uncommon spelling variant of Madeleine, which itself derives from the French form of Magdalene, ultimately from the Hebrew place name Migdal, meaning tower. The name became widely used in Christian tradition through Mary Magdalene, the biblical figure from Magdala on the Sea of Galilee who is prominently mentioned in the Gospels. Other related forms include Madeline, Magdalena, and Madalyn, all sharing the same Hebrew geographical root.
