The surname Maldin was first found in Essex at Maldon, a town on the Blackwater estuary. The town dates back to the early 10th century where it was first listed as Maeldune and as Maldon in the Anglo Saxon Chronicle. By the time of the Domesday Book, the town was listed as Malduna and literally meant "hill with a crucifix" from the Old English words mael + dun. 1 One of the first records of the surname was found in the year 1236 when Robert Maldon held lands in that area.

Migration of the Maldin family
Thousands of English families in this era began to emigrate the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. Although the passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe, those who made the voyage safely were rewarded with opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first Maldins to arrive in North America: John Malden, who came to Vriginia in 1652; Hugh Malden, who arrived in Virginia in 1694; Frederick Maldon, who Oath of Allegiance was recorded in Philadelphia in 1840.
