Old photograph of the Maitland Dairy in Balgownie, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The surname Maitland was first found in Berwickshire an ancient county of Scotland, presently part of the Scottish Borders Council Area, located in the eastern part of the Borders Region of Scotland, where they came from England following 1066. Instances of the name were fairly common in Northumberland, England, during the 12th and 13th centuries. The name was thought to have been derived from a place in Edinburgh called Magdalen Pans, which evolved to Maitland Pans, from a chapel dedicated to St. Mary Magdalen, which formerly stood there. The first Maitland on record in Scotland was Thomas de Matalant, who was settled in Berwick during the reign of William the Lion, King of Scots from 1165 to 1214.
