Answer
There is no evidence that connects the two. It would make common sense that the term' Magdalene' is added to distinguish one Mary from the other. There are no connections made between the two in The Bible, and all hypothesis to connect them are unfounded.
Answer
"Magdalene" is a variant of Migdol. The ancient Israelites named cities built by Phoenicians as Migdol - with the name for the place added (I Kings 9:11). One was probably Magdala on Lake Galilee. It was a fishing village with the Phoenicians' fish farming ventures of course in the lake itself. Therefore this town did not need the traditional towers (Migdol) for soldiers to man the turrets (Tyre-ets). Whether Mary Magdalene emanated from this town or from a phoenician city somewhere else (near Sidon for example) is unknown. If the latter is the case, she is probably the daughter of the Syro-Phoenician woman Jesus would not initially help ("Not right to give meat to dogs-Gentiles"). The woman responded, "But even the house-dogs get the master's crumbs". The ancient links between Israel and Phoenicia are very important but they are overlooked. Bethany certainly was not a Phoenician city so there is absolutely no reason to equate them.
Answer
Mary Magdalene the Phoenician clearly was not the Mary who anointed Jesus feet. But both women are certainly very memorable for the roles they played. Jesus said exactly that of Mary the sister of Lazarus (or Simon the Pharisee) because she was such a long-standing devoted and listening believer who loved nothing more than to sit at Jesus' feet and listen to him so much so that her sister would scold her for abdicating her duties!
