Initially utilized by the ancient Anglo-Saxons of Britain to denote persons living near a bean field, or subsequently, someone who hailed from one of the towns bearing the name of Benfield, Hertfordshire records reflect a land-holder in the Domesday Book (1086 A.D.) as one Goduin de Benefelle. Another familial branch is recorded at the village of Benefield in Northamtonshire. Dorset and Sussex also have or had towns with similar names.
