Yandell

Meaning of Yandell

Yandell is a masculine given name of English origin, stemming from a medieval surname that likely traces back to the Norman French place-name Andel in Normandy. Pronounced YAN-del (/ˈjæn.dɛl/), it occupies a modest niche in American birth records—ranked between the 800s and 900s over the past decade, peaking at 26 newborns in 2006 before settling into single digits by 2016. Its crisp consonant framing and gentle vowel cadence evoke a measured elegance, reminiscent of the deliberate meter in a Persian ghazal. Though it seldom appears in playground rosters, Yandell bestows an effortless distinction—no monogrammed lunchbox required—and carries an air of thoughtful spirit and quiet resilience that transcends cultural boundaries.
