Magdalena is associated with the meaning “Woman from Magdala; high tower” — a beautiful sentiment to see brought to life in your child’s room.
Magdalena comes from the Hebrew place name "Migdal," meaning "tower" or "great tower." It entered Latin and Greek as "Magdalene," used to identify someone from Migdal, a town on the Sea of Galilee in ancient Israel. So at its core, the name is a geographic label that simply meant "woman from Magdala."
