Malay-le-Grand

Malay-le-Grand is a commune in the Yonne department in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in north-central France.

Etymology
The village Maslacius subterior was cited in 519. In 1003, the village is designated under the name Masliacus Major ("greater Malay"). In 1187, the name of Mâlay-le-Grand became Malaium Vice-comitis (Mâlay-le-Vicomte) until the French Revolution. It was only then that Mâlay-le-Vicomte became Mâlay-le-Grand again and the neighbouring village of Mâlay-le-Roi also became Malay-le-Petit.
