Madli (Madli/Madel/Madle/etc.)

Name chosen to create a woman’s name group, this one, like Maud in English, being a diminutive of Magdaleena, qv, and I’m sure the fact that Tallinn Deputy Mayor’s first name is Madle has absolutely nothing to do with this. Yet another example of spelling variations, with over 60 examples ranging through Leen, Liena, Maada, Malline, Meedy and even Mallis, a squishing together of Magdalena and Elisabeth.
