Help[Facts] Re: The origin of Yandell
in reply to a message by Yandell
Yandell derives from Yewdale, a place in Lancashire in England. Yewdale is Old English, with 'yew' Wich alludes to the yew tree, and 'dale' comes from the Old Norse 'dalr' meaning valley. So the name can be taxed back to Old Norse, though the family is dominantly English.
