Etymology of Maudling

What does the name Maudling mean?

The distinguished surname Maudling is derived from the Hebrew "Magdalen," meaning "woman of Magdala." This name was also used, fairly infrequently, as a Christian name during the 13th century.

Early Origins of the Maudling family

The surname Maudling was first found in Oxfordshire, where the Maudling family was anciently seated as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066; the language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. However, many Saxon surnames survived, and the family name Maudling was first referenced in the 13th century, when the Maudling family held estates in Oxfordshire.
