Fieldon is used as a family name or surname in England. It is 7 characters long in length.
A variant form of the Feilding. An old spelling of Fielding, which has been either retained or resumed by the Earl of Denbigh's family. The orthography in Collins's Peerage, edit. 1768, is uniformly Fielding. According to Lawrence's Life of Henry Fielding, the elder branch of the family have always so spelt it, a statement which I very much doubt. Historian Lawrence adds: "It is related of the Novelist that being once in the company of the Earl of Denbigh, his lordship was pleased to observe that they were both of the same family, and asked the reason why they spelt their names differently. 'I cannot tell, my Lord,' replied the Wit, 'unless it be that my branch of the family were the first who knew how to spell!'".
Surname Fieldon is a variation of Fielding. In a document dated 9 Edward II., mentioned by Collins, Geoffrey de Fielding calls himself "Filius Galfridi filii Galfridi, comitis de Hapsburg et domini in Laufenburg et RinFILDING in Germania." It appears from the same authority that Geoffrey, earl of Hapsburg, by the oppression of Rodolph, emperor of Germany, being reduced to extreme poverty, Geoffrey, one of his sons, "served Henry III. in his wars in England, and because his father, Earl Geoffrey, had pretensions to the dominions of Laufenburgand Rințilding, he took the name of Filding."
