Madeleina is in Origin.
Madeleina is a rare elaboration of Madeleine/Magdalene, ultimately deriving from the epithet of Mary Magdalene (Greek Magdalēnē, Latin Magdalena), “the woman from Magdala.” Through association with Hebrew migdal, “tower,” it also carries the symbolic sense of steadfastness or strength. The spelling Madeleina likely arose in English-speaking contexts to cue the “-lay-nuh” ending, paralleling one common pronunciation of French Madeleine.
Used across medieval Europe thanks to devotion to Mary Magdalene, the wider name family has long-standing royal and saintly bearers (for example, Madeleine of Valois, queen of Scotland). In England and America it revived from the 18th century and surged again in the late 20th, while Madeleina itself remains uncommon but traceable in modern records. Related forms include Madeleine, Madeline, Madelyn, Magdalena, Maddalena, and Madalena; short forms range from Maddy/Maddie and Lena to Laine or Lainey.
