Mayford is an uncommon given name of English origin, derived from Old English elements 'maeg' meaning 'maggot' or 'fly', and 'ford' referring to a river crossing. It is often seen as a surname rather than a first name.
Over a span of four decades (1914-1958), the name Mayford had an average of about six births per year, with notable peaks in certain years such as 1921 (14 births) and 1930 (12 births). However, it also experienced periods of fewer than five births annually, including two instances where only one birth was recorded: 1942 and 1958.
