I noticed this name on the Dutch top 500 for girls. What does it mean?

If I google "Madée Madeleine" and look at the top results I get the impression that at least the French mostly take it to be a short form, or maybe pet form, of Madeleine.

Thanks!

I suspected a French origin, since a lot of French names are used in the Netherlands.

Looks like a shortened form of Amadée, maybe influenced by names like Maddie.
