There is some debate about the origin of the family name MAWBEY and the main spelling variant 'MAWBY'.
*
According to the website, House of Names.com, MAWBEY is an Anglo-Saxon name derived from the settlement of MOREBY in the East Riding of YORKSHIRE, or the place called MOORBY in LINCOLNSHIRE.
*
BUT ...
British school headmaster and inspector and genealogist HENRY MAWBEY (1834-1921) claimed the name derived from the MAUTEBY family of DANISH origin that settled in NORFOLK before the Norman Conquest in 1066.
The Danes first invaded England in 832.
*
The spelling of the name has varied from its first mention in 1199 when it was recorded that SIMON DE MAUTBY held lands under a Norman baron at the village of MAWTBY in NORFOLK.
[The Norfolk Family History Society spells the name of the original ancestor of the Mawbey pedigree 'de Mawteby'.]
*
Henry says the name was subsequently spelt: MAWTBEY, MAWTBY, MAWEDBY, MAWDBY, MAULTEBY, MAWBIE, MAUBY, MAWBY, MAWBEY.
*
Henry Mawbey believed that the MALTBY family was not associated with the MAWBEY FAMILY because their coats of arms were entirely different.
