Haverfield Family History

Haverfield Surname Meaning

English:: possibly a habitational name from Auberville the name of a 12th-century Norman family with lands in Suffolk. This Norman surname derives from either Auberville-sur-Eaulne (Seine-Maritime) or Aubeville-sur-Yère (Seine-Maritime).

For the change of -ville to -field compare English surnames such as Dangerfield. The post-medieval name is recorded only in southwestern England however and must therefore either reflect unrecorded early migration from southeastern England or have a different origin.

Possibly a topographic name from Middle English haver ‘oats’ (Old Norse hafri) or haver ‘he-goat’ (Old English hæfer) + Middle English feld ‘open country’.

Compare Haver.
