Spear field or triangular field
Derived from Old English elements 'gar' meaning spear and 'feld' meaning field. It originally referred to a triangular-shaped piece of land, resembling a spearhead, or a field where spears were used. It transitioned from a surname to a given name in the 19th century, often in honor of the 20th US President.
