Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

The pedigree of the Streatfeilds of Chiddingstone, co. Kent, is traced to the early part of the XVI. century. The name has been fancifully derived from Latin Be Strata Villa, "the prostrate house," an ill-omened etymology, which the family do not deserve. It has also been fetched from the German Streitfeld, "the field of contention or of battle;" but the origin is doubtless English, and local. There may be several places of this name: I know only of one, which is a ' borough ' of the manor of Robertsbridge, in East Sussex, called in a document before me, of temp. Elizabeth, Stretfelde; and this locality is within a few miles of that which has been, for three centuries and a half, the chief habitat of the name.
