Lena Moreau

Etymology
The name Magdalena is the Latinate form of the name Magdalene, meaning "of Magdala". In Spanish, the name means "The Magnificent One". In the Bible, Mary Magdalene is a devoted disciple of Jesus (called "The Apostle to the Apostles") and a witness of the Crucifixion and Resurrection. Since the Middle Ages, she has become the exemplar of the repenitent sinner, an image blown out of proportion when Pope Gregory misindentified her as a prositute in a 591 A.D. speech. She is never identified as such in the Bible, though she has often been identified as the unnamed woman who is anointed at the feet of Jesus, who says of her "Her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much." (Luke 7:47)

The French version of the name is Madeleine, what her father originally planned on naming her, but her mother opted for this version as she felt it was more unique (though Lena claims that it was probably a latent act of sadism).

Moreau is a French surname, derived from the Old French word "more", meaning dark-skinned.
