History & Origin
Randale is a variant spelling of Randall, which grew from the Germanic Randwulf, combining rand, 'shield rim,' with wulf, 'wolf.' Once a surname, Randall came back as a first name in the twentieth century, and Randale is a rarer spelling of it. It appears in United States records from around 1949 and reached a small high around 1986. It was never common, given to only a couple dozen boys a year.
A boy named Randale at that high would be in his thirties now. The -ale spelling stayed a rarity beside the standard Randall and Randal; it reads as a personal twist on a familiar name and has not caught on more widely, so parents drawn to the sound usually choose Randall.
