Meaning & origin
Lendell is a rare masculine name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1917. Its origins are unclear; it may be a modern coinage or a variant of place names such as Lindell or Kendall. The name saw its peak usage in 1932, but has never ranked among the top 1,000 names. Its trajectory has been stable, with occasional sporadic use. Due to its rarity, Lendell has not been associated with any particular states or famous bearers, and it remains an uncommon choice largely tied to early 20th-century naming trends.
