Rehfeldt

Rehfeldt is a German surname. It is a topographic name derived from Middle Low German words "re(e)," meaning "roe deer," and "feld," meaning "field" or "open land." Thus, it likely originated as a descriptive name for someone who lived near a field frequented by roe deer. The name is primarily found in northern Germany. Variations in spelling, due to regional dialects and transcription errors over time, may exist.
