Meaning & origin

Lyndle is a rare American given name first recorded in 1917, with its highest popularity occurring in 1932. By the 2020s, the name had become essentially unused, with no recorded births in recent years. Despite its obscurity, Lyndle fits a pattern of masculine names from the early 1900s that combined familiar elements, such as Lyndon and Dale. Its trajectory shows stable but minimal usage over the decades, appealing to those interested in uncommon vintage names.

Lyndle is a rare given name that likely emerged in the early 20th century as a modern coinage, combining elements of the surname Lindell or the place name Lyndon with the suffix -le. It has also been suggested to be a variant of Lindale, itself a combination of Lind (a tree name) and Dale (valley). The name peaked in 1932 but has since fallen out of common use.
