Ralph III. Main, Northumberland, 1166: Hodgson's History of Northumberland.
Walter fil. Main, Northumberland, 1168. Hodgson's History of Northumberland.
(2) Local, 'of Maine'; v. Mayne.
1798. Married — Thomas Main and Jane Dawson: St. George, Hanover Square.
1805. — William Dodson and Ann Maine: ibid.
(1) A surname borne by many fishermen families at Naim and neighboring villages is simply the Norse Macnus, q. v. and is probably a survival from the old Viking days in the Moray Firth. Some years ago there were thirty John Mains in the town of Naim, and a tee-name had to be given each to distinguish them from one another. There are also many of the name in Aberdeenshire.
(2) in the southern counties the name is probably another spelling of Mayne, q. v. William Mane was keeper of the guard of the king (architenens garde), 1477 (SBR., p. 262). William Mane was citinar in Sanctandrois, 1551 (Rollok, 94), and John Mane, tenant on lands of Kelso Abbey, 1567 (Kelso, p. 523). Patrick Mane and James Mane were beidmen in Edinburgh, 1584. James Main of Wester-house was retoured in lands, 1699 (Retours, Lanark, 452).
(1) Perhaps from the old personal name Mayne, or (2) from Maine, the French province so named. Our references are not early enough to guide us. Jasper Mayne was clerk of the diocese of St. Andrews in 1505 (Hunter, p. 7), and Jhones Mayne rented the land of Gartinwyne in 1520 (Rental). John Mayne was burgess of Glasgow in 1549 (Protocols, I), Nicolas Mayne was admitted burgess of Aberdeen in 1603 (NSCM., I, p. 98). John Mayne in Touchhill and Robert Mayne in Airth are in record in 1622. John Mayne was burgess of Edinburgh in 1648 (Inquis., 3394), and Thomas Mayne was merchant burgess of Kirkwall, 1655 (Retours, Orkney, 72). John Mayne (1759-1846), minor poet and journalist, was author of The Siller Cun. Mane 1567.

Local. From a French province of that name. Magne, great, large, rich, powerful, the same as magnus in Latin.
From Mayenne in Maine, a powerful baronial house, of which Walter de M. occurs in 976 (La Eoque, i. 159,160), Judael de Mayenne had a vast barony in Devon 1086, and his family long continued there. In 1165 Walter Fitz-Juel de Mayenne (de Meduana) held a barony of twenty-one knights’ fees in Kent (Lib. Niger). Many branches of these houses remained; the name changing gradually to Main and Mayne. Hence the Lords Newhaven.
From Mayenne; a town in France. Or St. Meen; location name in Ille and Vilaine, France.
Mayne: from the province of Maine.
Cuthbert Mayne, a Cornishman, who was chaplain to Francis Tregian, Esq., was executed as a papist at Launceston in 1577. Tregian escaped with his life, but not with his freedom, and his estates were sequestrated, and his family ruined (P.). Their descendants can only blush for the bigot's act of three centuries ago. Zachary Mayne, a noted Cornish divine, died at Exeter, the place of his birth, in 1694 (P.).
