Madelina

US Popularity Rank: 18045

Origin: Hebrew

Meaning: Woman from Magdala

Madelina is a form of the Hebrew name Magdalene, meaning "woman from Magdala." Although it refers to the saint and companion of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, your new arrival will tell their own unique story. Will they be brave? Compassionate? Perhaps they'll be the kind to offer their last snack pack or invite the new kid in town to join their game on the playground. This name may also pull at your heartstrings if you recall the children's book, Madeline, which tells the story of a young, spirited girl and her many adventures at a Paris boarding school.
