Malbon Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Malbane'. As Malbon undoubtedly arose in Cheshire, it probably represents the old de Malbancs of that county. Ellen de Malbanc was second wife of Sir Robert de Stokeport, who was living in 1268 (East Cheshire). Otherwise I cannot explain it. The corruptions into Mallabone, Mallabund, &c, are not singular; compare Allibone for Alban. The 'd' in Mallabund is excrescent, as in Simmonds, or the provincialism gownd for gown. The corruptions seem to have increased as the name extended into the further counties of Stafford and Warwick. A family named Malbon resided near Mottram, Cheshire, for many generations.
