History & Origin
Kendahl is a decorative spelling of Kendall, from the English town Kendal β the dale, or valley, of the River Kent. The -ahl swap followed the two-thousands taste for individualizing popular surname-names for girls.
It appeared in small numbers as Kendall surged for girls, reaching its faint high point around 2008. A Kendahl is most likely Gen-Z; the mainstream Kendall vastly outnumbers this spelling, which reads as a modern personalization.
