winfield Name Meaning and History
English: habitational name from any of various places now called
Wingfield. North and South Wingfield in Derbyshire are evidently named
with Old English wynn ‘meadow’, ‘pasture’ + feld
‘pasture’, ‘open country’. A place of this name in Bedfordshire may
have as it first element a topographical term or bird name
wince (see Winch). One in Suffolk was probably either
the ‘field of the people of Wiga’ (a short form of any of
various compound names formed with wig ‘war’), or else
derives its first element from Old English weoh
‘(pre-Christian) temple’.
