| Malena is an English and Italian shortening of Magdalena. |
Generally yes. It's my godmother's name and when her mother says it with a heavy italian accent, I hear more of a "e" sound than when Americans say her name. She is named after the Emilia-Romanga region. |

I love Malena! Would have been my choice (100% Italian) if I had a girl. Movie is great, soundtrack even better. Louisa, Vivianna, Nina (names of my grandmother, mother, and a cousin) |
