Madilynn

Madilynn is a modern English elaboration of Madeline, itself an English form of Magdalene, derived from the Hebrew place name Migdal Geder meaning tower. The extended spelling, with the double n ending, follows a late 20th and early 21st century trend of embellishing traditional names to create distinctive feminine forms. Closely related spellings include Madelynn, Madilyn, and Madelyn, all of which share the same ultimate Hebrew root.
