A married womans maiden name is the last name she had before she was married, the last name of her parents.
Its your name before you get married. It normally just applies for women. Hence the term "maiden"
No. Only married people (typically women) have a maiden name. A maiden name is someone's last name before she/he got married.
Since Henry Hudson was a man he did not change his name when he married and therefore has no "maiden name." Only married women could have maiden names.
A married name is the family name adopted by a person upon marriage, and in speaking of the many cultures where the practice is traditional for women, the maiden name is the family name that the married name replaces.
It comes from a French word: né, meaning 'born'. In other words, 'what name were you born with' or 'what was your maiden name' such as for Jada Pinkett Smith, it was Pinkett. This question isn't asked as much as it used to be, because nowadays, women change their name to be entertainers, some women keep their 'maiden' or family names after they get married and some women get married many times. My middle name is Renée. Gotta love it!!
I'm guessing that you mean maiden name (don't worry about it I'm dependent towards spell check) and that is a woman's surname name (last name) before she is married. Sometimes women will take their maiden name and use it as a middle name, example: Jane Doe-Johnson
