It looks like a smush between amydgala and Magdalena. I really don't care for it.
I'd be interested to see your source for its legitimacy.

Well, it's been used by Agatha Christine in a novel
Which means that it's been around since at least the '20s, and Christie used English names of her time period. I'm fairly sure that it's legit, she was not an author to make up names.

Magdalene means "from Magdala."
So it's a place name.
I prefer Magdalene, regardless.
