Prindl, Priendl, Preindl all exist. The closest name I could find any info on is:
'Prantl: Bairisch-österreichische Form von Brandel bzw. Brändel, hervorgegangen aus einer Koseform von Brand'.
(The surname Prantl derives from the first name Brand, it is Southern German, Austrian.)
I think this must be the origin of your name also, because no German word even remotely resembles Prindle.
