Magdaleno is a unique and distinctive given name of Spanish origin, meaning 'from Magdala', a town on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. It is derived from the Latin word Magdalum, which was used to denote someone from that region. Historically, Magdaleno has been associated with Saint Mary Magdalene, one of Jesus' most devoted followers in the New Testament. While it is not as widely used today compared to its feminine counterpart Magdalena or its variant Magdalen, Magdaleno remains a name rich in historical and religious significance.
"Magdaleno experienced fluctuating popularity over the century, with peaks in the late 1930s (41 births in 1936-1937) and mid-1970s (20 births in 1976), but generally low usage overall (total 995 births in 116 years)."
