The name of the city is traditionally connected with Prince Mal of the Drevlians mentioned in the Rus' chronicles, particularly during the Drevlian uprising of 945 against Igor, the Grand Prince of Kyiv.
Malyn was mentioned as a possession of nobleman Hryńko Wnuczkiewicz during the rule of Alexander Jagiellon at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. After his death, it passed to the Jelec family.
