    The Story Behind Madline

    Madline is an alternative spelling of Madeline, which is a French form of Magdalene. Magdalene itself derives from the Greek name Magdalēnē, meaning 'woman from Magdala'. Magdala was a town on the Sea of Galilee, whose name in Aramaic means 'tower' or 'elevated, great, magnificent'.

    The name gained prominence through Mary Magdalene, a significant figure in the New Testament. While not explicitly stated as a prostitute in the Bible, later traditions often associated her with this role, leading to the name's association with penitence and redemption. The name has been in use in various forms across Europe since the Middle Ages.
