An American given name with several plausible roots, Ladell pairs the element Dell (from Old English dael, 'valley') with the productive La- prefix in modern U.S. naming, particularly in African American communities. Some bearers also treat it as a softened form of the surname Liddell or as a spin on Adele, which would lend the meaning 'noble' (from Germanic adal). The result is a smooth, two-syllable choice used for any gender.

U.S. records show Ladell in steady but light use since the early 20th century; it has seldom entered the national Top 1000 and remains uncommon today. Notable bearers include NFL running back Ladell Betts and guitarist Ladell McLin. Variant spellings and forms include LaDell, Ladelle, and L'Dell; related shortenings are Dell, Del, and Della.
