History & Origin

Madeliene shadowed the popular Madeline, with a quiet high around 1996 as the classic surged. It is a phonetic and visual respelling rather than a separate name, carrying the same Magdalene roots and the meaning woman of Magdala.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its peak, while Madeline proper was a top choice. A girl named Madeliene then would be about thirty today. The spelling reads as a modern variant riding the Madeline revival.

Did you know? Madeliene simply swaps the order of the i and e in Madeline; both trace to Mary Magdalene, named for the town of Magdala on the Sea of Galilee.
