Maddalena

Maddalena is commonly given to girls. The meaning of Maddalena is 'woman from Magdala', 'maiden from Magdala', 'high tower', or 'of Magdala'. Maddalena is derived from the Ancient Greek name Magdala, derived from the Hebrew word Migdal, meaning 'great', 'elevated', or 'tower'. According to its German origin, Maddalena means 'magnificent'. Many sources believe that Maddalena is an English variation of the Hebrew name Magdalene. Magdalene is the name of a notable woman in the Christian Bible, Mary Magdalene, also known as Mary of Magdala. She was with Jesus during his travels and is regarded by many Christians as the second most important woman, next to the mother of Jesus, Mary, in the New Testament of the Bible. Mary Magdalene's role in the Bible as a witness to the crucifixion, burial, and resurrection of Jesus contributed to the appeal and popularity of the name Maddalena. Maddalena was first recorded as a family name in Burgundy, East-Central France. Many Maddalena ancestors migrated to North America in the 17th century, like Vivier Madeleine, who settled in Quebec, Canada, in 1672. Some popular variants of Maddalena are Madeline, Madeleine, Madelina, Madelena, and Madalena. Maddalena is commonly used by Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, Portuguese, and English.
