Reyfield is English in Origin.

Reyfield is an English surname-turned-given name formed from Middle English rey(e) “rye” (from Old English ryge) and feld “open country, field,” yielding the straightforward sense “rye field.” The Rey- spelling reflects medieval orthography; in modern contexts some read the first element through Spanish rey “king,” giving a folk reinterpretation “king’s field,” but the agricultural origin is the historically grounded one.

As a first name, Reyfield appears in Anglophone records from the late 19th century, particularly in the United States, when transferring surnames to given-name use became fashionable. It has remained uncommon, surfacing sporadically in the 20th century and today appealing to parents who like tailored, surname-style choices. Variants and related forms include the more prevalent Rayfield, occasional Wrayfield, and the separate but cognate-looking Redfield and Ryefield (distinct etymologies). Nicknames and short forms include Rey/Ray and Field, offering both classic and contemporary trims.
