Good meaning, nothing against it in the sources
The name rests on Mary Magdalene, a revered saint and follower of Jesus in Christian tradition, so it is counted as a name of another religion; Wikipedia adds a Germanic origin for Madeleine as well. No source read rules on the name; a scholar's call.
