Rudell, of Germanic origin, is an uncommon yet distinct first name for individuals born male. It is derived from the ancient German element "Hrōðmund", which consists of two elements: "hrōð" meaning 'famous' and "mund" meaning 'protector'. The name was introduced to England by the Normans after the Norman Conquest in 1066, but it has since become quite rare. Rudell is not listed among the top thousand names in recent years, making it a unique choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
The name Rudell experienced its peak popularity between 1923 and 1926 with 19 births in 1923 and 18 births in 1926. However, it's important to note that these figures are relatively low compared to the total number of births occurring during those years. The name was most common annually between 7 and 19 births. After 1959, there were no more than 6 births per year recorded with the name Rudell.
