Place names and family names (Mary bat-Nathanial, aka Mary, the daughter of Nathanial) were used to identify individuals in her era. So she was Mary Magdalene, or Mary of (the area of) Magdala.

The name appears to have made its way into common usage as a female name, but essentially it still means "from the region of Magdala".
