I went to Ancestry.com which has a feature that looks up a surname's meaning. Here's what they say about Rayfield:
"English (Kent): origin unidentified; probably a habitational name from a lost or unidentified place, perhaps an altered form of Rayford."
Dictionary of American Family Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-508137-4
The link for Rayford didn't work so I can't tell you any more than that.
