wendall is Germanic in Origin.
Wendall is a modern English variant of Wendell, which derives from the German surname Wendel and the medieval given names Wendel and Wendelin. These trace back to the ethnonym for the Wends, a Slavic people on Germany's eastern frontier, and are also linked to the old Germanic verb meaning "to turn, go, or wander." The commonly given meaning is "traveler" or "wanderer," and the pronunciation of Wendall matches Wendell.
As a given name in the United States, it emerged from surname-to-first-name fashion in the late 19th century and saw wider use in the mid-20th, buoyed by the prominence of Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. and Jr. Variants include Wendell, Wendel (German/Dutch), Wendelin and Vendelin (German, Central European), and the feminine Wendeline; related forms appear as Czech/Slovak Vendelín and Hungarian Vendel. Nicknames include Wen and Dell.
