From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

'the son of Matthew'; a familiar Yorkshire surname found in every district The Old French nick, of Matthew was Mace or Mache, and this, with the diminutive -on or became Machon and Machin. It is commonly found in the Poll Tax (1379). I only furnish a few instances. It has left an indelible mark upon Yorkshire nomenclature.

Thomas Mathen, 1379: Poll Tax of Yorkshire.

Eva Machon, 1379: ibid.

Ricardus Machon, 1370: ibid.

Beatrice Machon, 1379: ibid.

Johannes Machon, 1379: ibid.

Willelmus Mathon, 1379: ibid.

The first two entries lie in the same hamlet, so also the last three. Therefore Mathon may be looked upon as a more English form eventually settling down to Mattin, as in Mattinson; v. Mace, Masson, and Maton.

1558. Married — John Rypleye and Margarett Machyn: St. Michael, Cornhill.

1663. — Edward Machin and Cassandra Trendall: Marriage Alleg. (Canterbury).
