GIORDMAINA

This surname seems to have reached the Maltese islands quite late, with the first recording of it being the electoral lists of 1849.

Of Italian origin, this surname may be a condensed form of Giorgio di Maina, with maina referring to the Norman-French magne, maine meaning "great, strong, tall".

This complex crest shows a dexter arm, a symbol of prosperity, merit and qualities of leadership, pointing at a tower, signifying strength and vigilance.
