Name Meaning
English (Kent and Middlesex): habitational name chiefly from a lost place in Mersham (Kent). Places called Kingsford and Kingford in Devon, Essex, Warwickshire, and Worcestershire are alternative possible sources of this surname in other parts of England. The Kent placename derives from Old English cing ‘king’ (genitive cinges) + feld ‘open country’. The Worcestershire placename derives from the Old English personal name Cēna + the Old English groupname suffix -ingas (genitive -inga-) + ford ‘ford’. The other placenames derive from Old English cing + ford.
