The name "Madeleine" refers, of course, to Mary Magdalene, or Mary of Migdala. "Migdal "is Hebrew for "tower". "Madeleine" is the only name of the four main characters from the original French novel that was retained in this movie. "Judy" was "Renée" in the book. So it is fascinating that Sir Alfred Hitchcock did not keep the name. After all, Renée = re-née = reborn.
