Randahl Origin and Meaning

The name Randahl is a boy's name.

Randahl is a masculine name of Scandinavian origin, representing a variant spelling of Randal or Randall. These names derive from the Old Norse 'Randulfr,' combining 'rand' meaning 'shield' or 'rim' with 'ulfr' meaning 'wolf,' creating the powerful meaning 'shield wolf' or 'wolf shield.' The distinctive spelling with the 'h' gives the name a more pronounced Nordic character. Randahl remains relatively uncommon, appealing to parents seeking a name with Norse heritage but familiar pronunciation. The name conveys strength and protection, evoking Viking ancestry and rugged northern landscapes. While maintaining its traditional masculine qualities, Randahl has a softer sound than some Norse names, balancing strength with approachability.
