Various possibilities have been suggested for the etymology of the name "Maida":

  • A book read by Charles Howatt, the first postmaster
  • Suggested by two Canadian bankers from a dog in a novel by Sir Walter Scott
  • A clipping of "maiden" name for a haymeadow

    • Maida's post office was established in September 1884 and became a Rural Branch of Langdon in April 1967; the community still has its own ZIP code of 58255.
