The Hebrew form for the phrase From Magdala - which is, to say - From Great Tower is נהדר מ מגדל

Actually, Mary Magdalene from the Bible was a prostitute whom Jesus forgave.

Mary Magdalene was not a prostitute. There is an amazing book by Donna Jo Napoli about her though. It is called The Song of the Magdalene, I believe.

Actually, the Bible never gives that prostitute a name. The Catholic Church associated Mary Magdalene with her, to give her a place and a domain in Sainthood. I recall hearing an apology on their part for the misleading.
