Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Madeline je anglická podoba mena Magdaléna, sprostredkovaná francúzskym Madeleine. Vychádza z gréckeho označenia Magdalēnē, teda „žena z Magdaly“, prevzatého do latinčiny ako Magdalena. Miestny názov Magdala má aramejský základ s významom „veža“, príbuzný hebrejskému migdal. Význam samotného mena označuje pôvod z mesta, nie priamo vežu.
