Old French was a dialect of Latin that eventually turned into what we now know as the French language. “Mau” is an Old French word which might translate as “baneful.” “Pin” means “pinetree” in both Old and Modern French. So far, the earliest known Maupin was Jean de Friville in 1256. > Best, Sandi Carter
