Personally, I'd say 'fur-dee-nand'..
No, I've heard both too, I think majellan if you want to sound posh...

Brit Eng = Magellan (g as in girl)
US Eng = g = j (g as in Geronimo)
Portuguese would be different altogether (= Magalhaes = Magal-yaish, more or less)

Never heard of the guy; but, with a name like that Ferdinand Magellan the name may be of Spanish origins in which case the ll should be pronounced as a “y” sound.

mr magellan or madge to his mates
is the subject of my little boy's school reading book. i'm hoping that this means they've realised he's a child not a retard, and are now going to give him interesting things to read. my hopes are not high though, so he'll no doubt be back to floppy, chip and kipper next week

oh yeah, he's done thousands since then. he's always been the same. don't know where he gets it from, no one else in the family is artistic. great to see how his drawings are developing. he has a real passion for natural history, so most of his pictures are of creatures of some sort, from pre-history to mythical. he does some great dragons.
