Maxfield

US Popularity Rank: 18698

Origin: British

Meaning: Maccel's open country

Maxfield is a masculine name of Old English origin, brought to England during the Norman Conquest of 1066. Flowing with an air of natural magnitude, Maxfield means “Maccel’s open country” and stems from a place name. Macclesfield is a town in Chesire that got its name from the Normans, but its ancient establishment predates their arrival. These days, this gorgeous traditional name gives baby a sense of home with a touch of regality which can sometimes be lost in more modern appellations.
