The surname MULLENDORE has its origins in Scotland, specifically the Lowlands region, dating back to the 13th century. It is derived from the Old English words "mulle" meaning "mill" and "dore" meaning "valley" or "stream," suggesting that the name originally referred to someone who lived near a mill in a valley or by a stream.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Ragman Rolls of 1296, a historical document containing the names of Scottish landowners who swore allegiance to King Edward I of England. The name is listed as "Mulle de Dore," indicating its early spelling variation.

In the 14th century, the name appeared in the records of the Exchequer Rolls of Scotland, which were financial records kept by the Scottish government. This suggests that the family had some standing and owned property during that time.

The earliest known bearer of the name was Thomas MULLENDORE, born around 1320 in Stirlingshire, Scotland. He was a landowner and farmer, and his descendants continued to use the surname in various spellings, such as MULLENDAR, MULLENDER, and MULLINDER.

Another notable individual was Sir William MULLENDORE, born in 1425 in Ayrshire, Scotland. He was a respected knight and fought in the Wars of the Roses in England, serving under King Edward IV.

In the 16th century, the name was associated with the village of Mullendore, located in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. This place name likely derived from the surname itself, reflecting the family's connection to the area.

During the 17th century, the MULLENDORE family expanded their presence in Scotland, with several members holding prominent positions. One such individual was Robert MULLENDORE, born in 1640 in Renfrewshire, who served as a magistrate and played a role in the religious conflicts of the time.
