Marshfield Family History

Marshfield Surname Meaning

From Marshfield (Gloucs), which is recorded as Maresfeld in 1221 and Mersefeld in 1236. Possibly also from Marshfield alias Maerun (Monmouths) or Marshfield in Woolstanwood (Cheshire), though no evidence that these place-names gave rise to surnames has been noted.

The Gloucs place-name derives from Old English (ge)mǣre ‘border boundary’ (genitive (ge)mǣres) or *mǣrse ‘boundary’ + feld ‘open country’.

The Cheshire place-name may derive from Old English mercels ‘mark boundary mark’ + feld.
