Kendrell

Meaning of Kendrell

Kendrell, pronounced ken-DRELL (/kɛnˈdrɛl/), is a masculine appellation of Anglo-American provenance that synthesizes the Old English root ken—signifying “knowledge” or “royalty”—with the phonetic extension -drell, a modern morphological construct echoing Germanic naming patterns. First attested in U.S. Social Security records in the early 1970s, its annual incidence has remained modest yet consistent, varying from a peak of 33 registrations (rank 782) in 2002 to 13 newborns (rank 911) in 2024. From an analytical perspective, Kendrell occupies a niche of rare but durable usage, combining phonetic clarity with semantic depth to convey leadership, intellectual acuity and contemporary individuality, thereby appealing to parents who seek a distinctive male name firmly rooted in the Anglo-American onomastic tradition.
