The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries; therefore, spelling variations are common among early Anglo-Saxon names. As the form of the English language changed, even the spelling of literate people's names evolved. Mallin has been recorded under many different variations, including Malins, Malin, Mallin, Malynes, Malle and others.

First found in Warwickshire where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the year 1212 when John Malynes held lands.

For many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Mallin or a variant listed above:

Mallin Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century


  • Patt Mallin, who arrived in Virginia in 1651
  • Clemt Mallin, who arrived in Virginia in 1658

Mallin Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century


  • Thomas Mallin, who arrived in America in 1803
  • M Mallin, aged 25, arrived in Mobile, Ala in 1820-1873
  • Pat Mallin, aged 21, landed in New York in 1854
  • John Mallin, who landed in Alabama in 1858
  • William Mallin, who landed in Allegany (Allegheny) County, Pennsylvania in 1872

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.

Motto: Post proelia praemia
Motto Translation: After the battles come the rewards
