Landel is of Germanic origin, derived from the Old High German words "land" meaning "land" and "hild" meaning "battle". It was originally used as a personal name in various Germanic-speaking regions during the Middle Ages. The name Landel has seen limited usage over time but has not been entirely forgotten, appearing occasionally in historical records and modern-day births.
In the United States, the name Landel has been given to five babies born each year since 1957. Over time, this adds up to a total of five newborns bearing this unique name throughout the country during that period. Despite its low popularity compared to more common names, Landel remains a distinctive choice for parents who wish to give their child an uncommon moniker.
