They mean that before your mother married your father, what was her last name?
Your mother's maiden name is the surname she was born with, generally the same last name as your grandparents (her parents).
It is Alvina Pradde
Wassermann
Matthew Langford Perry (his middle name is Langford because that was his mothers maiden name)
Firstly it is (Severus) Snape, Secondly, his mother was a muggle while his father was a wizard, her maiden name was also "Prince". Severus Snape is a half-blood, and by taking his mothers maiden name he is a "Prince", therefore he is a half-blood prince.
Missy Higgins's mother's maiden name is Melissa Morrison Higgins, I think, if that is of any help. Melissa Higgins is also Missy Higgins's given name too.
natasha's maiden name is 'Lever' :) x
maiden name
Gretchen Ludwig was her mothers maiden name
Dandle.
Ruby
Toomes.
Wassermann
DiGiorgio
Her name was Elena Fedorovona (maiden name)
Because its the one of the most memorable names. For example, your mother takes your fathers name if they wed and so (unless you pretty much have no interest in your mother) you should know their maiden name. Also because if it were you surname that's easy, to track a mothers maiden name would mean searching through wedding records.
