History & Origin
Maddelynn is a modern respelling of Madelyn and Madeline, from Magdalene, 'woman of Magdala.' It appears in United States records around 2003, amid a wave of -lynn respellings of Madeline, and reached its small high around 2014. It was never common in this spelling, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its peak.
A girl named Maddelynn from that period is a child or young teen now, and the doubled spelling reads as a distinctly twenty-tens creative variant. As Madelyn and Madeline stayed popular, elaborate versions like this one remained rare; the standard spellings carry the trend.
