Maitland Gaol is a retired maximum security gaol in NSW, Australia that ran from 1848 to 1998. It was the longest continuously-ran prison at the time of being shut down. It is now a museum and a tourist attraction but is closed as of writing due to safety issues. Source - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maitland_Gaol

I like how formal it sounds. Some of my ancestors used this name too.
Maitland Ward is an American actress. She has starred in various films and shows, including Boy Meets World (Rachel), and White Chicks (Brittany Wilson).
Personally I see the name, Maitland as a female name. It can be shorted quite nicely too Mati, Matey, Matie. It would make a lovely name for formal use and simply Mati for short or theirs quite a few other alternatives you could use.
