Schofield is a name whose history on English soil dates back to the wave of migration that followed the Norman Conquest of England of 1066. The Schofield family lived in Lancashire.

A multitude of spelling variations characterize Norman surnames. Many variations occurred because Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules.
