Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

The name Madlena is traditionally interpreted as designating a woman originating from Magdala.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Madlena je obmenou mena Magdaléna. To sa prostredníctvom latinského Magdalena odvodzuje od gréckeho Magdalēnē, tradične vykladaného ako „žena z Magdaly“. Miestny názov Magdala súvisí s aramejským magdalā a hebrejským migdal, „veža“. Gréčtina a latinčina sú sprostredkujúce jazyky. Význam pôvodného biblického prímena je predmetom odbornej diskusie; odvodenie mena Madlena od Magdalény tým nie je spochybnené.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Vzťah Madlena – Magdaléna uvádza prehľad podôb mien; tradičnú etymológiu zachytáva Etymonline. Výhrady k výkladu biblického prímena rozoberajú Schraderová a Taylorová, 2021. Konkrétne heslo v monografii Milana Majtána a Mateja Považaja Vyberte si meno pre svoje dieťa nebolo priamo overené. Skloňovanie je odvodené podľa slovenského vzoru žena; domácke tvary sú jazykovo možné podoby, nie doložený rebríček obľúbenosti. Cudzojazyčné ekvivalenty označujú podoby spoločného východiskového mena Magdaléna.
