Dashfield Family History

Dashfield Surname Meaning

Apparently a variant of Ashfield with fused French preposition d(e) ‘of’ but Ashfield is principally a Suffolk surname and no evidence has been found to link the two names apart from their formal similarity.

It occurs in some of the same counties as Ditchfield of which it could be an altered form but no definite connection can be made.
