Magdalia is an intriguing and unique given name, of Hebrew origin, meaning "from Magdala" or "tower." It is a feminine variation of the name Magdalena, which is derived from Magdal-ene, a town on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee in Israel, where Mary Magdalene, one of Jesus' followers, was said to have lived. This historic and biblical association gives Magdalia an air of mystique and timelessness. The name Magdalia has been used sparingly throughout history, making it a distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their daughter.
"In 1976, there were seven babies named Magdalia."
