Mannifield Family History

Mannifield Surname Meaning

From an unidentified place. There may well have been some confusion with Manifold particularly as -feld and -fold would often be virtually indistinguishable in medieval orthography but the story seems more complicated than this.

It is unclear whether or not the medieval bearers given here from the south of England are relevant; perhaps also a variant of Mansfield.

The medieval record of the place-name shows numerous forms with no medial -s-.
