Where did the English Maillard family come from? What is the English Maillard family crest and coat of arms? When did the Maillard family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Maillard family history? The name Maillard is rooted in the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture. It was originally a name for someone who worked as a miller or the keeper of a mill. The surname Maillard is derived from the Old English word mylenweard. This name is common in the southern and western counties; elsewhere, the form Milner predominates. It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Maillard are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Maillard include Milward, Milwood and others. First found in Derbyshire where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.

Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Maillard or a variant listed above: Maillard Settlers in the United States in the 18th Century
