Magdalene

The name Magdalene is of Aramaic-English origins and the meaning of Magdalene is 'of Magdala' or 'high tower'. Mary Magdalene is the name of one of the few female figures in the Bible. She is seen in the New Testament and is given her name because she was from the village of Magdala (a name which meant 'tower' in Hebrew), which was a village on the Sea of Galilee. Also known as Mary of Magdala, she travelled with Jesus and was one of the witnesses to his crucifixion and his burial. She was also the first person to see him once he was resurrected. In the Middle Ages, she was martyred and made a saint. There have been a number of famous figures with the name, such as Magdalene of Bavaria, Magdalene Barens and Magdalen Berns.
