[Surname] Re: Origin, History, and meaning of my last name: Mauleon
in reply to a message by Carlos Mauleon
Mauléon is a French surname which comes from places so named in the southwestern part of France. The name literally means 'bad lion' where 'lion' refers to rock formations that look like that.

The surname comes from the place name, the place name does not come from the surname.
