Magdelyn Origin and Meaning

The name Magdelyn is a girl's name.

Magdelyn is a feminine name that represents a variant spelling of Magdalene. This name derives from Magdala, an ancient village on the Sea of Galilee, meaning 'tower' in Aramaic. The name became widely known through Mary Magdalene, a follower of Jesus in the New Testament. The alternative spelling Magdelyn offers a distinctive touch to the traditional name while preserving its historical and spiritual connections. Less common than Madeline or Magdalene, Magdelyn appeals to parents seeking a name with religious significance but with a unique spelling that stands out while remaining rooted in tradition.
