Mansfield Origin and Meaning

The name Mansfield is a boy's name.

Mansfield is primarily an English surname derived from place names in Nottinghamshire and other locations throughout England. The name combines the Old English words 'manu' (man) and 'feld' (open country or field), literally meaning 'field belonging to the man' or 'open land of the man.' As a first name, Mansfield is exceedingly rare, carrying a distinguished, traditional quality that evokes English countryside estates and literary connections—notably through Jane Austen's 'Mansfield Park.' Its use as a given name typically honors family surnames or ancestral connections. Mansfield offers the formal full name potential for the nickname 'Mans' or 'Field,' appealing to parents seeking a distinctive name with historical gravitas.
