Madelle is in Origin.

Madelle is a rare, French-tinged feminine name most often read as a streamlined offshoot of Madeleine/Madeline, the French form of Magdalene. That lineage leads back to the Hebrew place-name Magdala ("tower"), yielding the commonly cited sense "woman from Magdala" and, by extension, "tower." The shape of Madelle also invites comparison with Adele/Adèle, from the Germanic element adal "noble," giving the name a parallel, modern blended reading as "noble" or "noble tower."

In records it appears sporadically in the United States from the early 20th century, never widespread but revived by contemporary favor for -elle endings. Spelling and close variants include Madel, Madella, Madellee, and Madelene; related forms are Madeleine, Madeline, Madelyn, and Adele/Adèle. Familiar nicknames range from Maddie and Mads to Delle, Della, and Elle. The name's soft cadence and compact elegance make it a distinctive alternative to the more common Madeleine.
