"Madeleine" is a French equivalent of the English name "Magdalene."
Specifically, the French and the English names are feminine proper nouns. They both trace their origins back to the Aramaic word "magdala" which means "tower" as a noun and "elevated, great, magnificent" as an adjective. The pronunciation of the French proper name is "mah-dlehn."
