• Maida
• Sir John Stuart, Count of Maida

a town of Calabria, Italy, in the province of Catanzaro, from which it is 30 m. W.S.W. direct, and 1 2 m. N.N.E. of Pizzo by rail (the station is 8 m. W. of the town). Pop. (1901), 5190. The town gives its name to the plain of Maida, where in 1806 British troops under Sir John Stuart defeated the French under Regnier. The names Maida Hill and Maida Vale in London are derived from this battle.
