Litchfield Family History
Litchfield Name Meaning
English: habitational name from Lichfield in Staffordshire. The placename derives from a development of the Romano-British placename Letocetum (based on British leito- ‘gray’ + caito- ‘wood’). By the Old English period this had been shortened to Licced and the Old English element feld ‘pasture open country’ was added to describe a patch of cleared land within the ancient wood.
