The surname Bradfield is of English origin, deriving from the Old English words "brad" meaning broad and "feld" meaning field. It was originally a locational surname given to people who lived near a broad field.
However, in the context of Irish descent, the history of the surname Bradfield takes a different path. It is believed that some individuals of Irish ancestry adopted the surname Bradfield when they emigrated from Ireland to English-speaking countries.
During the Irish diaspora in the 19th century, many Irish people left their homeland due to the Great Famine and economic hardships. Some of them settled in English-speaking countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, and England. In the process of assimilation and the need to fit into their new societies, some individuals may have anglicized or changed their Irish surnames to English-sounding ones.
Therefore, the surname Bradfield among individuals of Irish descent may have been adopted as a means to assimilate into English-speaking societies or to avoid discrimination associated with Irish surnames during that time period. It is important to note that while some individuals of Irish descent may bear the surname Bradfield, it is not intrinsically an Irish surname.
