Meaning & origin
Lyndol is a rare American coinage first recorded in 1921, during a period when invented names ending in -ol or -ell were fashionable. Its peak year was 1927, when it saw its highest usage, but it has never been a common name. The trajectory of Lyndol has been stable and low for decades, with little to no revival. While no top states are listed in the Social Security data, its sporadic appearance suggests scattered use. As a modern creation, Lyndol carries the charm of early 20th-century naming trends without a deep etymological root, making it a distinctive choice for those seeking an obscure yet historically grounded name.
Lyndol appears to be a 20th-century coinage, first recorded in the 1920s. It may be a combination of the surname Lyndon (itself from a place name meaning 'lime tree hill') and the fashionable suffix -ol, or an alteration of similar names like Lindall or Lyndell. The name has never been common and has remained rare since its peak in the 1920s.
