Family name origins & meanings

  • English : variant of Mander 1.
  • English : habitational name from Maund Bryan or Rose Maund in Herefordshire, possibly named in Old English as ‘(place at) the hollows’, from the dative plural of maga ‘stomach’ (used in a topographical sense). Mills suggests it may alternatively be a survival of an ancient Celtic term magnis, probably meaning ‘the rocks’.
