Does anyone know the meaning of the Japanese family name, "Kaneda"?

The family name comes from the place named Kaneda which you can situate at http://europe.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?formtype=address&country=JP&addtohistory=&city=kaneda. From what I've been able to deduce, it means 'golden (kane) rice paddy (da)'.
