English: topographic name, apparently from Anglo-Norman French
de la ‘from the’ + Middle English feld ‘open country
used for pasture or tillage’. Sometimes, however, -field in a
Norman name represents the French word ville ‘town’, so that
this name may in fact be from French Delaville, a topographic
name for someone who lived in a town.
