Name Meaning
English: from a Middle English survival of the dative plural of Old English feld, denoting someone who lived ‘in the fields’. The lost district name Feldon in Warwickshire may be named with this word. Perhaps also a habitational name from Feldom in Marske, North Yorkshire, recorded as Feldon in 1231. See Field .
