The surname Duffield has its origins in Irish history, and it is a locational surname, derived from the Old English word dufe meaning dove and the Old English word feld meaning field. The name originally referred to someone who lived near a dove field or a farm where doves were kept.
The Duffield surname is particularly associated with the county of Kilkenny in Ireland, where an early branch of the family held a seat as a distinguished Irish family at Kilkenny Castle. The Duffield family is also known to have been influential in the region of Leinster, where they held a family seat from ancient times.
The first recorded instance of the surname Duffield in Ireland is from 1540, when one Richard Duffield was recorded as a clerk in Kilkenny. The name has since spread to other parts of Ireland and beyond, with Duffield families also found in England and Scotland.
Over the centuries, the Duffield family name has evolved and changed, with variations such as Duffeld and Duffeild also being recorded. Today, the surname Duffield is still found in Ireland and in the Irish diaspora around the world, with many individuals proud to trace their heritage back to this ancient and distinguished family.
