The history of the last name Maybank

The surname MAYBANK originated in England during the late medieval period. It is a locational surname derived from a place name, likely a village or town where the first bearers of the name resided. The name's components are believed to be "May," possibly related to the Old English word "mæg" meaning kinsman or relative, and "bank," referring to a riverbank or hillside.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Hundred Rolls of Cambridgeshire from 1273, which mentions a John de Maybanke. This suggests that the name was already well-established in the region by the 13th century.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, the name appeared in various records and documents across different counties in England. For instance, the Parish Registers of Cheshire from 1559 mention a William Maybanke, and the Hearth Tax Rolls of Yorkshire from 1672 list a Robert Maybanke.

Notably, the MAYBANK surname has been associated with several historical figures over the centuries. One such individual was Sir John Maybank (c. 1585-1667), an English lawyer and politician who served as a Member of Parliament for Southwark during the reign of King Charles I.

Another prominent bearer of the name was Thomas Maybank (1699-1783), an English clergyman and author who served as the Rector of St. Dunstan's Church in Stepney, London. He is remembered for his published sermons and theological works.

In the 19th century, John Maybank (1801-1867) was a notable English architect and surveyor who worked on several projects in London, including the design of several churches and the restoration of St. Bride's Church on Fleet Street.
