Carfield Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This ancient Shropshire family took its name from their lands of the same name in the parish of Long Stanton, Shropshire. The family appears in Burke's Landed Gentry, where their descent is given from Roger de Corfull, fl. 1251. They have two arms: a three hearts gulles and their crest a collard and chained leopard passant holding a palm branchl; and a lion rampant on a pale azure ermine.
The name Corfield is derived from the Anglo-Saxon 'ceorfan' - 'to carve' and the Anglo-Saxon 'feld' - 'field.' Thus as a surname it means 'descendant of one from the carved field.' This is probably a reference to the river Corve, which passes though what is now Corfield Farm. An 1845 tithe map of Long Stanton parish show Corfield Farm and two fields called 'Corfield Meadow.'
This surname remains strong in Shropshire, has spread through most of England and into former British colonies.
