No one had last names as we know them in those days. Occasionally people were known by two or more first names - as examples John/Mark (who wrote Marks gospel), Peter/Simon, Paul/Saul, and even Jesus/Emmanuel. If there were two or more people in an area who had the same name, to differentiate between them, a characteristic, or ancestor, or district from where they came was used.
As an example, James, the brother of John and James son of Alphaeus were both disciples, as were Simon (also called Peter) and Simon the Zealot, and Judas and Judas Iscariot (Judas from Iscaria) - the one who betrayed Jesus. In the case of Mary Magdalene, there are several Marys in the stories of Jesus.
There is Mary the mother of Jesus, Mary of Bethany (who was the sister of Martha and brother of Lazarus), and Mary Magdalene. 'Magdalene' simply means 'from Magdala' a village near Jerusalem, and hence she could be called 'Mary of Magdala' which means the same thing. Therefore 'Magdalene' is not a 'surname' but a description of Mary to differentiate her from the others in the stories of Jesus.
There are about 6 different 'Mary's' mentioned in the Gospels -it was a popular name - so nicknames were used to differentiate them.
Magdalene was Marys last name.
"Magdalene" in Aramaic means "elegant", "great" or "magnificent"; in Hebrew it means "tower". It is the last name of Mary Magdalene from the Bible, but not her surname as we have one today. 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. Magdalene, in the Biblical terminology, refers to the region 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".
