Q:
A: I assume you are asking, "What IS my mother's maiden name?" Of course, I don't know your mother's name (first, middle, married, OR maiden). But I CAN tell you what a maiden name IS: a woman's surname before marriage So, if her mom and dad's names are Mary and Fred Smith, her family's surname is Smith. Then she marries Joe Brown: her new last name is Brown; but her maiden name is Smith.
