What is the meaning of the name Rondell ?

Rondell is English in Origin.

A modern English given name with French roots, Rondell likely arises from the Old French rondel/rondelle, “little round” (ultimately from Latin rotundus), a term used for circular objects, a small shield-plate, and a verse form. As a given name it also aligns with American elaborations of Ron- names - most notably Ronald - using the -ell/-dell ending common in mid‑century coinages. The resulting meaning centers on “little round; roundel,” with a warm, rhythmic sound.

Usage appears in U.S. records from the 1940s and grew modestly through the late twentieth century, especially within African‑American and Caribbean communities. Notable bearers include MLB All‑Star Rondell White and actor-comedian Rondell Sheridan. Variants and related forms include Rondel, the feminine-leaning Rondelle, stylized RonDell, and the related modern form Ronnell; Ronald is the traditional anchor in the broader Ron‑ family. Short forms Ron and Dell are natural nicknames. Overall, Rondell remains uncommon yet recognizable.
