"Madeline" derives from Mary Magdalene. "Gangnes," as far as I've been told, is the name of the farm in Norway on which my great-grandfather grew up before emigrating to the United States.
"Madeline" means "woman from Magdala," which is a village near the Sea of Galilee, apparently. It's unclear whether my last name has a "meaning" in Norwegian.
I am the only Madeline Gangnes who has ever lived.
