Kendale, of English origin, is a unisex given name that has gained popularity in recent decades. It is believed to have been created by blending the names Kenneth and Dale. The name Kendale means "bold" or "brave," which could be attributed to its association with the Old English word "cennet" meaning brave. In some cases, it may also be considered a variant spelling of Candelario, which is of Spanish origin and translates to "candle maker." While Kendale is not exceptionally common, it is not particularly rare either, offering parents a unique yet familiar option for their child's name.
"The name Kendale experienced a significant surge in popularity from the late 1970s to the mid-1980s, with peaks of 25 births in 1987 and 31 births each in 1992 and 1993. However, it has since declined, with fewer than 20 births per year recorded since 2006."
