Lyndale as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Lyndale

What is the meaning of the name Lyndale ?

The baby name Lyndale is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈlɪn.deɪl/ (LIN-dayl).

Lyndale is English in Origin.

An English toponymic name, Lyndale combines the elements lind(e) “linden, lime tree” and dæl “valley,” yielding the evocative meaning “linden valley.” In some lines the first part may reflect Brittonic/Welsh llyn “lake,” so the sense can also be read as “lake valley.” As with many -dale formations, it began as a place-name and surname in Britain before traveling to North America, where it appears in town and street names and then as a forename.

Used as a given name from the late 19th century, Lyndale fits the Anglophone fashion for surnames as first names, seeing modest U.S. use in the mid‑20th century. It is most often masculine but works unisex today. Related forms and spellings include Lyndall, Lyndell, Lindell, Lyndal, and Lindale; short forms Lyn and Dale are common. The nature-rooted meaning adds a gentle, pastoral tone.
