Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Kyndal

Both Kyndall and Kyndal are “feminized” and Americanized modifications of the traditional English surname Kendall. The surname-turned-unisex-forename Kendall developed from one of two place names in England. One, the town of Kendal in Cumbria was so named because it lied in the valley of the River Kent. The name is derived from the river’s ancient name “Cunetio” paired with the Olde English “dael” which means “valley” (i.e., Kent Valley). Or from a place called Kendale in Driffield (northern England) which derives its name from the Old Norse “kelda” meaning “spring” and “dalr” meaning “valley” – translation: valley of the spring. One of the oldest surnames on record, Kendall dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086. Some etymologists believe Kendall could be derived from the Welsh forename “Cynddelw”. Although the meaning is uncertain, it’s thought to come from the Old Celtic words for “high, exalted” and “delw” meaning “image, effigy”. In other words, an image of praise, like an archetype or perfect example of something.
