NameMALAN (FAMILLE, ORIGINAIRE D'ANGROGNA, PIEMONT, LAUSANNE, OLEYRES, NIMES ET GENEVE)
DescriptionFamille attestée dès 1503 à Angrogna, Les Malans (Geneanet). César Malan naquit à Genève le 7 juillet 1787. Il descendait d'une famille de Vaudois du Piémont établie de longue date dans la commune de Saint-Jean. Une branche de cette famille s'était fixée assez tôt en France, à Mérindol (Vaucluse), où elle paraît avoir acquis certaine notoriété. The early history of the Malans is one of severe persecution and suffering because of their faith. The Malans originated in the valleys of Piedmont in the north-western region of the present Italy. Apparently the Malan de Mérindol, the branch of the family from which the South African and English Malans originate, fled to Mérindol on the Durance in Provence (Southern France) during the Great Persecution of 1112. The Malans became wealthy and were well known in Mérindol. The part of the town inhabited by them was known as Quartier des Malan.
