Lionall is Norman in Origin.
Lionall is a rare modern English respelling of Lionel, a name that came into Middle English through Old French Lionel, from medieval Latin Leonellus, the diminutive of Leo "lion." It therefore carries the sense of "little lion" or "young lion," with long-standing associations of courage and nobility.
The name’s profile in Britain was bolstered by Arthurian romance, where Sir Lionel appears as a knight of the Round Table, and by Prince Lionel of Antwerp, 14th-century son of Edward III. Usage revived in the 1800s and 1900s, especially under the standard form Lionel (cf. actor Lionel Barrymore, singer Lionel Richie). Lionall remains extremely uncommon but intelligible as an alternative spelling. Related forms and cognates include Lionel, Lionell, Lionelle (feminine), Léonel (French), Leonel (Spanish/Portuguese), and Leonello (Italian). Common short forms are Leo, Lio, and Lonnie.
