Help[Facts] Re: Delene
in reply to a message by Richard
How many generations does this name go back? I don't like to use this explanation, but perhaps the name was made up. The de prefix lene suffix are common in created names.
A web search also revealed a few people with surnames of Delene, so it could also be taken from the surname.

If it's any help, I've found census records recording both the names "Magdelene" and "Delene" for the same person. Have also found records of the use of the name "Mary Delene", suggestive of the "Mary Magdalene" connection.
