Madgelyn is English in Origin.

Madgelyn is a modern English given name, likely formed by blending Madge (the long-standing English diminutive of Margaret) with the fashionable -lyn ending, or by respelling the American favorite Madelyn (from French Madeleine, itself from Magdalene). Because of these twin roots, its meaning is read either as "pearl," from Greek Margarites via Margaret, or as "woman from Magdala," figuratively "tower," from Hebrew migdal. The internal -dg- points to Madge as an influence.

Documented usage is very recent and rare, with no enduring presence in historical rolls or major popularity charts; it rides the phonetic wave of Madelyn/Madeline and -lyn names in late 20th-early 21st century English-speaking countries. Close variants and spellings include Madgelynn, Madgelin, Madgelynn, and the related forms Madelyn, Madelynn, Madeline, Magdalene, Magdalen, and Magdalena.
