Madoline

Madoline is an English variant spelling of Madoline, itself an elaborated feminine form rooted in Magdalene, a Late Latin and Greek name derived from the Hebrew place name Migdal, meaning tower or great place, referring to Magdala on the Sea of Galilee. The name became widely known through Mary Magdalene, the biblical figure prominent in the New Testament. Related forms include Madeleine, Madeline, Madaline, and Magdalena, which spread across Europe through Christian veneration of Mary Magdalene.
