What Does the Name Kyndall Mean?
Kyndall is a modern respelled form of Kendall, a name taken from the town of Kendal in Cumbria, in northern England (historically part of Westmorland). The place name joins the River Kent with dalr, the Old Norse word for "valley," so the literal sense is "valley of the Kent." The river name itself is older than the Norse and English elements around it; it is generally thought to come from a Brittonic (Celtic) word, but its exact original meaning is not settled. Because Kyndall is simply a spelling variant, it carries the same meaning as Kendall: a person identified by the place, "one from Kendal."
Kyndall Name History & Origins
The town of Kendal grew around a church settlement on the River Kent, and medieval records refer to it as Kirkby in Kendal, where the first element is Old Norse kirkja (church) plus byr (settlement). From this town came the English surname Kendall, given to people who had moved away from Kendal or held land there. The town was also a woolen-cloth center, and its product "Kendal green" was well enough known to be named in Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1.
Kendall worked as a surname for centuries before it began to be used as a first name. Its use as a given name is mainly an American development, and it has been given to both boys and girls, with girls becoming the more common bearers in the later 20th century. Kyndall belongs to a broad pattern of American respelling in which an e is replaced by a y, a change that affects the look of the name but not its origin or meaning.
