Madalynn

Madalynn is a variant spelling of the name Madeline, which is derived from the French form of the Germanic name Magdalene. Magdalene is derived from the Hebrew name 'Migdal' meaning 'tower' and the place name 'Magdala.'

In the New Testament, Mary Magdalene was a devoted follower of Jesus Christ who witnessed his crucifixion and resurrection. The name thus has biblical origins and associations with faith and devotion.

The variant spelling Madalynn emerged in English-speaking countries in the late 20th century, perhaps influenced by the popularity of other names ending in 'lynn' such as Caitlyn and Brooklyn.

While the name Madalynn has no direct meaning, it carries the same cultural and religious associations as the original name Magdalene.
