Mothers Maiden Name means

Answer 1

• The mother's maiden name is her surname by birth (the last name of her parents.) Example: A woman's name would be 'Jane Mary Doe' when born and she keeps that name until she marries and then she changes her last name to that of her husbands who is John Smith and her name would be Jane Mary Smith. It can be changed back to her maiden name if she was to get divorced.

Answer 2

Your mother's last name as it was when she was born. Probably the same name as your maternal grandparents. Your grandparents have also got their name from their Mother and Father.
