Bloomfield Family History
Bloomfield Name Meaning
Jewish (American): Americanized form of Blumfeld, an
ornamental compound of Yiddish blum ‘flower’ + feld
‘field’.English: variant of the Norman habitational name
Blundeville, from Blonville-sur-Mer in Calvados, France. The
first element is probably an Old Norse personal name; the second is
Old French ville ‘settlement’. In the 16th and 17th centuries
in England, the endings -field and -ville were often
used interchangeably; one branch of the Blundeville family
continued using the -ville spelling while another chose
Blom(e)field or Bloomfield.
