Lindall is English in Origin.

Lindall is an English surname-turned-given name drawn from toponymic roots. It likely combines Old English lind, “linden/lime tree,” with dell or dæl, “small valley,” or reflects the Norse + dalr pattern seen in the Cumbrian place Lindal, yielding the sense “linden valley/dell.” Parallel Scandinavian forms (e.g., Lindal, Lindahl) share the same Germanic lind- “linden” base.

As a personal name, Lindall appears rarely in British and North American records from the late 19th century onward, used for both sexes but more often for boys, in line with the broader fashion for adopting surnames as given names. Variants and cognates include Lyndall, Lindel, Lindell, Lindal, Lindahl, and Lindale; short forms Lin and Lindy occur. The name’s core meaning evokes the sheltering linden tree and a quiet valley - imagery of steadiness and natural refuge.
