Where did the English Mallis family come from? What is the English Mallis family crest and coat of arms? When did the Mallis family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Mallis family history? The surname Mallis is a name that was carried to England in the great wave of migration from Normandy following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Mallis family lived in Melhuish in Devon. The surname Mallis is a habitation name that was originally derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads. The surname originated as a means of identifying individuals from a particular area. In the Middle Ages people often assumed the name of the place that they originally lived as their surname during the course of travel. Spelling variations of this family name include: Mellish, Mellise, Melersh, Mellersh, Melluish, Melish, Mellersh, Mellis, Melliss, Meliss, Melles, Meles, Malis, Malise and many more. First found in Devon where they held a family seat from ancient times as Lords of the Manor of Melhuish in that shire, some say, well before the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 A.D. The original name of the village was Melewis. Conjecturally the family name is descended from Hugh of Rennes, holder of the village of Melhuish from Baldwin, Sheriff of Devon at the time of the taking of the Domesday Book Survey in 1086 A.D.
