The surname Ashfield, of Irish origin, is predominantly associated with an Anglo-Norman lineage. It is believed to have originated from the de Lench family, who were amongst the first Anglo-Norman settlers in Ireland during the 12th century. They settled in Leinster, primarily in County Kildare and Dublin, where they became influential landowners.
In an attempt to anglicise their name, the de Lench family changed it to Ashfield, taking inspiration from their estate in County Kildare named Ashfield or Ashtown. The surname Ashfield was thus born, carrying forward the legacy of this Anglo-Irish family.
Interestingly, the Ashfield surname is derived from an Old English term ęsc meaning ash and feld meaning field. Therefore, the literal translation of Ashfield is the field of ash trees. This reflects the landscape of the family's estate and their deep-rooted connection with their land.
Over centuries, the Ashfields expanded their influence across Ireland, England, and later America and Australia. The surname Ashfield has evolved over time and is now found in many different forms worldwide, such as Ashford, Ashville, and even Ash. Despite these variations, the heart of the Ashfield name remains deeply tied to its Irish roots and heritage.
