The history of the first name Madelys

The name Madelys is a feminine given name of uncertain origin. It is believed to be a modern and creative variation of the more common name Madelyn, which itself is a French form of the Hebrew name Magdalene, meaning "woman from Magdala."

One possible theory suggests that Madelys may have emerged as a unique name in the late 20th century, potentially inspired by the French name Madeleine or the Spanish name Madelis. However, there is no concrete evidence to support this claim.

The earliest recorded instances of the name Madelys are relatively recent, with no known historical references or appearances in ancient texts or religious scriptures. This suggests that the name is a contemporary invention, possibly created in the past few decades.
