History & Origin

Lyndal varies the surname Lyndall or Lindell, from Old English 'lind' (linden tree) and 'dael' (valley), meaning 'linden-tree valley.' Like many English place-surnames it crossed into given-name use, and it appeared on American boys through the early and middle twentieth century.

Lyndal was only about fifteen a year even at its peak, surfacing from the nineteen-tens into the forties and never common. It reads today as a vintage surname-name, and its soft sound could feel at home again, though it has not yet revived.

Did you know? The linden tree at the root of Lyndal shows up across northern European names, prized for its heart-shaped leaves and its role as a village meeting place.
