Mother's maiden name unknown. (advice)

On my grandfather's BMD record, under the mother's maiden name is 'unknown'. Does this mean he was orphaned? That they couldn't read the name? That his mother didn't give her name on the birth certificate? That her actual surname was 'unknown' ? Please could I have some advice?
