Maddelline serves as a feminine given name, embodying qualities associated with both its linguistic heritage and its historical connotations.

      The name Madeleine, from which Maddelline is derived, has a rich historical background. It has been used since the Middle Ages, primarily in Christian contexts, largely due to the association with Mary Magdalene, a prominent figure in the New Testament.
