Lyndel is an English given name with surname roots, formed from the elements lind “linden, lime-tree” and dell “small valley,” yielding the evocative meaning “linden valley” or “lime-tree dell.” The spelling with y reflects the family of Lyn-/Lynn- names; it remains a unisex choice.

As a surname, forms like Lindell/Lyndell appear from the early modern period in Britain and Scandinavia; Lyndel entered given-name use mostly in the mid-20th century, paralleling the popularity of Linda and Lynn, and it is encountered in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and North America. Close variants include Lyndell, Lyndal, and Lyndall; Lindell is a cognate surname-turned-given name. Nicknames range from Lyn/Lynn and Lynnie to Dell. Literary awareness of the spelling Lyndall (Olive Schreiner, 1883) helped normalize the -dall/-dal family, which likely influenced Lyndel’s emergence.
