Madeline Surname HistoryThe distinguished surname Madeline is derived from the Hebrew "Magdalen," meaning "woman of Magdala." This name was also used, fairly infrequently, as a Christian name during the 13th century. Early Origins of the Madeline familyThe surname Madeline was first found in Oxfordshire, where the Madeline family was anciently seated as Lords of the Manor.
