The same name traced across the biblical canon and the Second Temple texts, side by side.
Magdalene (Magadan)
It means "from Magdala," the town on the Sea of Galilee, and it keeps this Mary apart from the other Marys in the Gospels. She watched the crucifixion and was the first to see the risen Jesus. The old idea that she was the sinful woman of Luke 7 has nothing in the text behind it.

Magdalene identifies Mary as coming from Magdala, a town on the Sea of Galilee, distinguishing her from the Gospels' other women named Mary. She is best known as a witness to the crucifixion and the first person to see the risen Jesus, and the long standing tradition identifying her with the unnamed sinful woman of Luke 7 has no basis in the biblical text itself.
