User Comments about the name Mahlon
Comment left Oct 11, 2008: "Mahlon is one of the sons of Ruth in the Bible.
The father of Brian Boru (Ireland) is Mahon.
There is an Irish King with a a name of Mah??????? I can't remember the spelling but it is a longname. There is no L after an H in Gaelic language.
In our local Home Depot they were paging a Mahlon, and after a few years I decided to go meet him.
I told him my name was Mahlon, and had to prove it with my license. The gentleman told me he had been named after an African King. My parents told me Mahlon was an Irish King. I was named after my Uncle Mahlon." (Report as inappropriate)

Not to proud of its meaning or whom it originally represents. But I love it for what it is." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 20, 2008: "# Comment left Feb 23, 2007: "My father's name is Maylon. He was always told he was named after his grandfather. In tracing the family history. I found his grandfather Mahlon Jones and his great-grandfather Mahlon L Jones. Not easy to do as the name Mahlon was very popular in the 1800's. It was a name for men and women.""

Comment left Mar 31, 2008: "Comment left Jan 09, 2007:"Not a particularly nice sound, and counterintuitive spelling. Even worse on a girl." -- What is your name John or Bob or Fred? Or maybe a Sarah? Either way, whatever your name is I am sure it is forgettable precisely because it is bland, with easily deciphered spelling and a sound we've all heard a thousands times before. I am just sorry you have to live your entire life with such a simple over-used name. Oh well, probably suits your personality :P" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 09, 2008: "My name is Mahlon Teter. Mahlon has been passed down in every generation of Teter since coming here from Germany. I have met a few guys named Mahlon. Mostly the Amish for they name their son's from the Bible." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 30, 2008: "It's pronounced 'May-lun' and he's the only one I know named that. He is an unusual guy, but I'm not sure that his name has anything to with it. It suits him though." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jan 07, 2008: "I have a great Uncle named Mahlon, and it is also a Bible name (Ruth's first husband--Naomi's son). I'm considering this name for my 6th child who is a boy. I've not heard of this name besides my great uncle. I was concerned with how others would pronounce it." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 29, 2007: "I named my son Mahlon after his great great great grandfather Crawford Mahlon Walker. And as the previous comment stated, people have a very hard time pronouncing it. We pronounce it May-lun...most people want to say Mah-lun. I knew this would be an issue but I hope he enjoys the name in the long run." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 01, 2007: "My name is Mahlon. People mispronounce my name when I go to the doctor's office. I have only met one kid with the same as mine and I like him very much, he is my friend. I find my name to be unique. I was named after my deceased grandfather and deceased grandmother. Mahlon was my grandfather's first name and my grandmother's first name was Lee so I was named Mahlon Lee." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 28, 2007: "My son is named mahlon, only spelt mahlen. It came from the family i.e. my stepgrandfather was mahlen and so was his father etc. etc. It used to be quite common in Bedfordshire, England, where we are from. I know of one other who is a distant cousin and is a professor at Stowe School. Lots of people get the name wrong, calling him mayland or marlon. His full name is mahlen david thomas fox. When he was younger I told him I wouldn't mind if he wanted to use one of his other two names to make life easier, but he declared that if somebody couldn't be bothered to get his name right he wasn't bothered about them. By the way, it is pronounced Maylen. He is a Dr. Mahlen Fox PhD." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 14, 2007: "We named our baby boy, born on July 6th, Mahlon. It was my husband's great-great grandfather's name. We prononuce it "May-lin". No one has ever heard of it and can never pronounce it correctly. Plus they're not sure if it's a boy's name or a girl's name. But we've received nothing but positive feedback on it since he was born six weeks ago." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 09, 2007: "We are naming our baby boy Mahlon. My husband's grandpa's name is Mahlon. The only problem is people don't always pronounce it correctly. He pronounces it like "May-len" but people use the h instead." (Report as inappropriate)
