Madlyn

Madlyn is an English feminine name that developed as a variant of Madeline, itself the English and French form of Magdalene. Magdalene derives from the Greek Magdalēnē, meaning woman from Magdala, a town on the Sea of Galilee whose name is thought to come from a Hebrew word meaning tower. The name is closely associated with Mary Magdalene, the biblical figure who became one of the most prominent followers of Jesus. Related forms include Madeline, Madeleine, Madelyn, and Madalyn.
