Maddalena is a magnificent choice for a little girl. With Old English and German origins, this feminine name means “magnificent” or “high tower.” It is an adaptation of the classic Madeline and equally poses the opportunity of being shortened to the adorable Maddy. Although Maddalena is a less-used version, its popular counterpart has been featured countless times in pop culture, including the self-titled children’s franchise Madeline. It has also appeared in the USA as a family name.
