Ardall is Irish in Origin.

Ardall is a rare Anglicized variant of Ardal, an Irish given name ultimately from Old Irish Árdghal. The elements árd (“high, noble”) and gal (“valor, prowess”) yield the meaning “high valor” or “exalted courage.” While Ardall is uncommon in records, it follows familiar Anglicization patterns that simplify Gaelic spellings and double final consonants. Related forms include Ardal (standard modern form), Árdghal (original Gaelic), and the less-seen Ardhal; feminine adaptations are rare.

The name appears in medieval Irish annals as Árdghal among regional chieftains and ecclesiastics, reflecting its heroic sense in Gaelic society. Ardal enjoyed modest modern recognition in Ireland and the UK - helped by public figures like Irish actor Ardal O’Hanlon - while Ardall remains a distinctive, contemporary respelling. Today it is chiefly used as a masculine name, though its concise form and virtue-leaning meaning also suit broader, gender-neutral naming trends.
