From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(French-Latin) the French Mauduit = Naughty, lit. Badly Conducted [French mal, Latin male, badly + French duit, pp. of duire, Latin ducere, to lead]

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

Apparently a modern corruption of the old baronial name Mauduit. The latinization Male conductus, or De Malo Conductu, is not complimentary to the family. The name first appears in Domesd. William Malduith, chamberlain to William the Conqueror, was a tenant in chief in Hampshire, as was a Gunfred M. in Wiltshire.
