Maudlin was also derived from the medieval English pronunciation of Magdalene, and thus was a derisive way to refer to "the penitent Magdalene" or someone apparently trying to martyr themselves in such a way.
Madeline is derived from Magdalene. So... this looks like someone attempted to combine the two Magdalene legacies.
