Malpass Family History
Malpass Name Meaning
English and Scottish (of Norman origin) and French: habitational
name from any of various places named Malpas, because of the
difficulty of the terrain, from Old French mal pas ‘bad
passage’ (Latin malus passus). It is a common French minor
place name, and places in Cheshire, Cornwall, Gwent, and elsewhere in
England were given this name by Norman settlers. A place in Rousillon
(southeastern France) that had this name in the 12th century was
subsequently renamed Bonpas for the sake of a better omen.
