Throughout the world, Magdalen (Magdalen 
, מגדלן 
, Магдален 
) is quite a rare female first name. The first name Magdalen is characteristic of Cameroon, where it is a rare girly name, Hong Kong, and the United States. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in the United States, Nigeria, and India. Very seldom, Magdalen is the last name as well as the forename.
