Valley of the river Kent; bright valley
A modern feminine elaboration of Kendall, likely derived from the river Kent in Cumbria, England, combined with the Old English 'dael' meaning valley. The '-elle' suffix adds a French-inspired flair, giving the name a more delicate and rhythmic sound than its surname-style predecessor.
