Ardell

Ardell Origin and Meaning

The name Ardell is a boy's name.

Ardell is a gender-neutral name that has historically been more common for males in the United States. It likely developed as a variant of Ardel or Ardal, which have roots in Gaelic meaning 'high valor' or could be connected to place names. Some linguistic scholars suggest connections to Old English elements meaning 'eagle valley.' The name experienced modest popularity in America during the early to mid-20th century but has since become quite uncommon. Ardell carries a vintage quality that aligns with the revival of other names from this era. Its soft sound combined with strong meaning gives it a gentle yet dignified character. The name may also call to mind the well-known false eyelash brand, though this commercial association is relatively recent compared to the name's history.
