Before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago, spelling variations of names were a common occurrence. Elements of Latin, Norman French and other languages became incorporated into English throughout the Middle Ages, and name spellings changed even among the literate. The variations of the surname Malvin include Mauvoisin, Malvoisin, Malvesyn, Mauvesyn, Mavesyn, Malveysin, Mauveysin, Malvoisine, Malevoisine, Maleveisin, Mauvaysin and many more.

First found in Staffordshire where this distinguished Norman family held the lands and were Lords of the Manor of Mavesyn-Ridware at the time of the taking of the Domesday Book in the year 1086 A.D.

In England at this time, the uncertainty of the political and religious environment of the time caused many families to board ships for distant British colonies in the hopes of finding land and opportunity, and escaping persecution. The voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, though, and many arrived in North America sick, starved, and destitute. Those who did make it, however, were greeted with greater opportunities and freedoms that they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make important contributions to the young nations in which they settled. Early immigration records have shown some of the first Malvins to arrive on North American shores:
