"Magdalene" is probably a nickname simply to distinguish her from the others also named "Mary". "Magdalene" is derived from the name of her town, Magdala.
The New Testament does not mention her beyond the Gospels. It should be noted that the view of Mary Magdalene as a prostitute is not found within the Bible or the writings of the early church fathers. It is possible that she had a son named [[Mark]] who tagged along with her and later wrote the [[Gospel of Mark]].
