Pinfield Vad efternamn betyder
variant of Penfold with post-medieval confusion between fold and field. Compare Pinfold Farm in Meriden (Warwicks) first recorded as Pynfold in 1638. Spellings with -on- or -un- are partly dialectal (Pun- for standard English Pin- from Old English pyn-) and partly from confusion between pen and pound as words for an animal enclosure.
