Madeline is in Origin.
Madeline is the Anglicized form of French Madeleine, itself from Magdalene (Latin Magdalena, from Greek Magdalēnē), meaning “woman from Magdala,” a town on the Sea of Galilee; by association with Hebrew migdal, it also carries the sense “tower.” The name spread across medieval Europe through devotion to Saint Mary Magdalene (feast July 22), appears in English records from the Middle Ages, waned, and revived in the 18th–19th centuries. Modern popularity rose again in the late 20th century, buoyed by Ludwig Bemelmans’s Madeline books and the chic aura of the French form.
Variants and related forms include Madeleine (Fr), Madelyn, Madilyn, Madalyn, Magdalene, Magdalena (German/Slavic/Spanish/Polish), Maddalena (Italian), and Madalena (Portuguese). Common nicknames are Maddie/Maddy, and in French, Line or Mado. Typical English pronunciations are MAD-uh-lin or MAD-uh-layn; French is ma-de-LEHN. The name blends classic sanctity with cosmopolitan charm.
