Mary is not the mother of God as some in the Christendoms churches believe but she was chosen by God to be the mother of his son (Jesus Christ) in his earthly state (Luke 1:35). This does not in any way indicate that God wants Mary to be worshiped or to have a special position in the church. worship belongs only to our God Jehovah.
Mary was married to Joseph and had other children besides Jesus (Matthew 13:50-56)(Luke 8:19-21).
Magdala means tower. Mary of the Tower was the Magdalene. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magdala

If you're asking about Mary Magdalene, she did not "founded" any order. But there is now a Christian denomination "Order of Mary Magdala" a pro-women group. see link "Order of Mary Magdala."

Some scholars say that the name Mary Magdalene probably means that Mary was from Magdala.
Mary Magdalene is believed to have grown up in Magdala, a town on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee in present-day Israel.
I'm afraid that much of what you will read on her is NOT from Scripture. The only direct mention I know of Mary of Magdalene is in Luke 8:2-3. The rest is at best inferences or man-made attributes.
Mary Magdala, often referred to as Mary Magdalene, is believed to have originated from the town of Magdala on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee in ancient Palestine. Her name indicates her association with this location, which was known for its fishing industry and possibly for its production of dyed textiles. In the New Testament, she is depicted as a devoted follower of Jesus, who was present at his crucifixion and the first to witness his resurrection.
Mary (or Maria, Marie, Miriam) of Magdala
Madelaine is based on Magdelen. Saint Mary Magdalen was a close friend of Jesus. Magdalen is based on the Hebrew for "a woman from Magdala" . Magdala is a town near Galilee.
The ruins of Magdala are located on the north-west side of the Sea of Galilee, 5 Kilometers north of Tiberias. They were Mary Magdalene's village, today a town called Migdal.
