Malkin Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. 'the son of Matilda,' from diminutive Malkin. 'Malkyne or Mawt, proper name (Molt, K., Mawde, W.), Matildis (Matilda)': Promptorium Parvulorum In the face of this clear statement it seems strange that Malkin should have been universally treated as the diminutive of Mary. 'It was formerly a common diminutive of Mary' (Halliwell). I suspect Malkin represented Mary in the North of England, and Matilda in Norfolk and South-East England generally. At any rate, Maid Marian was also known as Malkin, and Marian, or more correctly Marion, is an unquestionable diminutive of Mary. Malkin is found early:
'Nor those prude yongemen That loveth Malekyn.' - A Litul soth Sermun, Early English Texts Society.
'And Malkin, with hire riistaf in hire hond.' Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales.
Hence a kitchen wench. 'The kitchen malkin pins Her richest lockram': Coriolanus. Burton is still more unkind: 'A filthy knave, a deformed quean, a crooked carcass, a maukin, a witch': Anat. of Melancholy, part iii. sect a, mem. a, subsect. 3. Hence, too, malkin, a baker's clout to clean ovens with, or a scarecrow (v. Halliwell), on the same principle by which implements taking Jack's place took Jack's name; compare bootjack, or jack, a turnspit.
Thomas Malkynson, Webster, 1370: Poll Tax of Yorkshire.
Johannes Malkynson, 1379: ibid.
William Malkynson, 1379: ibid.
Matilda Dikwyuemalkynson, vidua, i.e. Matilda, the wife of Dick, the son of Malkyn, widow: ibid.Stolen from Fore-bears
Willelmus Malkynson, ibid.
Malkinson exists in Yorkshire, but it is rare; Malkin later on, as the name of a drab, having, like Parnall and Nan, lost caste. Nevertheless some of our Makinsons are doubtless thus originated; v. Makin.
1604. Baptised — Joseph, s. Joshua Malkin: St. James, Clerkenwell.
(Anglo-French-Teut.) a double diminutive of Matilda, early form Mahthild = Might (in) War [Old SaxonO.H.Ger. maht = Old English m(elaht, miht (= Goth, maht-s) = Old Norse mátt-r, might, power + Old Saxon Old English hild = O.H.Ger. hilt = Old Norse hild-r, war, battle] The second element of Matilda is therefore the Teutonic female Christian name Hilda.
(Anglo-Hebrew) a double diminutive of Mary = Bitterness [HebrewMáráh] Malkin became a provincialism for a slut, and even a scarecrow.
The kitchin malkin pinnes Her richest lockram ’bout her reechie necke.
—Shak., Coriol., II. 1.224.
(English) Descendant of Malkin, a pet form of Mary (bitterness), also of little Mal, a pet form of Matilda (might, battle).
A common diminutive of Mary. Halliwell.
