Magdalena is a Biblical name. Usually shorten to Magda or Magi. Sometimes, the French form Madlen/Madlena (Madeleine) is used.

Miglena and Meglena is the same name with different spelling. I do not think it is connected to Magdalena.

---

There are claims that Meglena comes from an old Slavonic word meaning "wind".

---

Most probably, the name Meglena came from a placename (toponym) Meglen and a river name Meglenitsa near the town of Edessa:

Most probably, the placename Meglen and the river name Meglenitsa come from Slavic mugla meaning "mist".
