What Does the Name Ladell Mean?
Ladell is an English surname-derived name meaning "dweller by the dell" or "from the valley." It is formed from the English topographic word dell, "small valley," which comes from Old English dell, with an initial La- usually explained as the French definite article la, "the." Literally the form means "the dell"; as a surname it identified someone who lived at or near a small valley. The name is topographic rather than patronymic or religious in origin.
Ladell Name History & Origins
The surname Ladell belongs to the English tradition of topographic bynames, names taken from a person's home or land. A family called Ladell would have been associated with a dell - a small valley or hollow - and the La- prefix gives the name a French-influenced form found in some English surnames. Hereditary surnames became established in England during the later Middle Ages, and Ladell remained a family name. In the English-speaking world, especially the United States, Ladell has also been used as a given name, with LaDell as a capitalized variant. It is not a form of the separate English name Dale, though both are landscape words.
