Madilene, of Latin origin, means 'gentle and noble.' It is a variant spelling of Madeline, which derived from the German name Mahthildis, composed of the elements 'mahat,' meaning mighty, and 'hildis,' gentle. The name has been associated with figures like Madame de Sévigné's daughter, Marie-Madeleine de La Guette Madelaine, and it was popularized in English literature by Lewis Carroll's character, Madeline Usher, in his short story 'The Fall of the House of Usher.' While not as common today, Madilene retains a unique charm and vintage appeal.
"Madilene is quite rare, with only 6 children named so each year from 2010 onwards."
