History and Origin
Randall /ˈrændl/ is a masculine given name in the English language. Its modern use as a given name originates from the transferred use of the English–language surname Randall. There are two explanations for the derivation of this surname. One is that it originate from a personal name that is an apocopal form, or a vernacular form of Randolf; another explanation is that they originate from a diminutive of a mediaeval form of Randolf. Early forms of Randolf were brought to England by Scandinavian settlers, and later by the Normans. These mediaeval names are ultimately derived from two Germanic language elements-the first meaning: "shield" or "rim"; the second meaning "wolf".
There several variant spellings of the given name; these include Randal, Randel, Randell, and Randle. The pet form of Randall is Randy. The form Randal has also used as an Anglicisation of Raghnall, an etymologically unrelated Irish and Scottish Gaelic name. Randal, as an Anglicisation of this Gaelic name, has been noted as being particularly common amongst several Irish families of note. Randal has not been among the 1,000 most popular masculine baby names in the United States of America since 1994, and Randall has been among the top 1,000 names since 1906. According to US Census data, in 1990 both names were among the top 500 most popular masculine names in the country. Neither name is currently among the 100 most popular masculine (or feminine) baby names in either the United Kingdom nor the Republic of Ireland.
English: a regular medieval form of Randolf. This fell out of use, but before it did so gave rise to a surname. Modern use of the given name represents a transferred use of this surname.
Variants: Randal, Randel(l), Randle.
