English evolved over time, even during the very long medieval period.

At first, English people spoke Old English (the language of the Saxons) and the word for a young, unmarried girl was mægdenor mǽden (pronounced almost the same as maiden).

After about 1150 people spoke early Middle English and the words used for a young girl were mai, maid, maide-child, maiden, maiden-child and wenche.

Maide-child is pronounced may-der-chilled.
