Maddalynn is English in Origin.
Maddalynn is a modern English elaboration of Madelyn, itself a phonetic spelling of Madeline derived from Magdalene, the epithet of Mary Magdalene. The name traveled from Greek Magdalene to Latin Magdalena and into Old French Madelaine before settling in English. Its ultimate source is the place-name Magdala (from Hebrew/Aramaic migdal, "tower"), giving the sense "woman from Magdala" and, by extension, "tower."
The Magdalene family of names entered common use in medieval Europe through the cult of Mary Magdalene, saw steady English usage, and enjoyed revivals in the 18th–19th centuries and again in the 20th. In late 20th and early 21st-century America, taste for -lyn/-lynn endings and double letters produced creative spellings such as Maddalynn. Related forms include Magdalene, Magdalena, Madeleine, Madeline, Madelyn, Madalyn, Madelynn, Madilyn, and Madalynn. Common diminutives are Maddie/Maddy, Maggie, and Lena. Note: the word "maudlin" stems from Magdalene's imagery but not the name's modern use.
