The area known as Earlsfield developed around a mainline rail station that was built at the end in April 1884 in the place of a large Victorian residence called Earlsfield. When the site was sold by the Davis family to the London and South Western Railway one of the conditions of sale was that the station would be named after their house. Thus the name of that house provided the name of the station, and thence to the suburb...so says https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earlsfield
