Name Meaning
Contracted form of Latin Maria Magdalene ( see Madeleine ). The name is of German origin, but is now also widely used in the English-speaking world, normally in a pronunciation with two syllables ( compare Arlene and Charlene ). Probably the first, and certainly the most famous, bearer of the name was the film star Marlene Dietrich ( 1901–92 ), who was born Marie Magdalene . The name was further popularized in the 1940s by the wartime German song ‘Lili Marlene’, which was immensely popular among both German and British troops in North Africa.
