Malorys

Malorys may refer to people bearing the surname Malory or to a family known by that name. It is the plural form of Malory, a surname of English origin. The name has several historical spellings, including Malory, Mallory, and Mallorie, reflecting medieval variations in handwriting and record-keeping. The Malory/Mallory surname is typically considered to be toponymic or habitational in origin, arising from families associated with a place name in medieval England; over time the spelling diverged.

The most prominent historical figure with this name is Sir Thomas Malory (c. 1415–1471), an English knight and author best known for Le Morte d'Arthur, a compilation of Arthurian legends. In surviving documents his surname is written in several variants, including Malory and Mallory.

In modern times, Malorys may denote any person or family with the surname Malory. The spelling Mallory is more common in many regions today, but Malory and Mallorie remain in use. The term Malorys therefore primarily functions as a genealogical or biographical label, rather than indicating a specific organization, place, or fictional entity.
