  1. Is there a relation between the profilis in this project?
  2. Does the name Mayen originate from the German town Mayen (www.mayen.de)?

https://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?surname=Mayen Mayen Name Meaning German: habitational name from a place so named in the Rhineland. The place name is related to Maifeld, the name of the area of which it is the main settlement, which is derived from the Celtic word magos ‘field’, ‘plain’. French: from a diminutive of mai, which in the dialect of Savoy denoted pasture where cattle were allowed to graze in the spring and fall, and, by extension, a hut built for the cowherd nearby. This name is also established in Mexico.

Short explanation for difference in names:
The respective priest entered the family data in the parish registers. Since there was no official identification document yet, one wrote after hearing. This resulted in different spellings such as Meijnen, Maijen, Mayen and Meinen
