The name was created through the combination of two other names: Maria and Magdalene, obviously in homage to Mary Magdalene from the New Testament.

All biological cells store their genetic information in the form of DNA. DNA is an abbreviation of deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA molecules determine the types of protein synthesised within the cell. Eukaryotes store their DNA in their nucleus and prokaryotes store their DNA in their nucleoid.
That's how much information is stored in the DNA inside every human cell: the entire human genome. If you sort through the three billion letters that make up the human genome, you find some surprising things. Only about 1% of the three billion letters directly codes for proteins. Of the rest, about 25% make up genes and their regulatory elements. The function of the remaining letters is still unclear. Some of it may be redundant information left over from our evolutionary past.
