About Malvern
Malvern is a masculine name with roots firmly planted in England and America. English (British) and English (American) speakers alike have embraced this name, and it's been found in both countries. The name stems from the Malvern Hills, named for their bare, rocky landscape – likely of Brythonic origin meaning "bald hill" from Welsh “moelfryn.” While a personal name for boys was used somewhat in the 20th century, it has faded away since then. However, there's a story to be told about this name too. A battle at Malvern Hill during the American Civil War gave the name some American traction.
