Maybury is a boy’s name with a story to tell! Originally a surname, it journeyed to England with the Norman Conquest in the 11th century, making its home in the charming Cheshire region. With links to Marbury Manor, which was proudly listed in the Domesday Book of 1086, Maybury means “fortified place near a lake” in Old English, derived from mere, meaning” lake” or “pool,” and burh, meaning “fortified place.” Ideal for little ones with a love for water or nature, Maybury is especially perfect for families with English roots.
