[Opinions] Well, it's been used by Agatha Christine in a novel
in reply to a message by Julia
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.

Perhaps it's a varient of Magdalene, as in Mary Magdalene?Just guessing, here.
Magdalene means "from Magdala."
So it's a place name.
I prefer Magdalene, regardless.
