Origin:
The name Randal originated in Germany as Randolf. It became popular in England during the Norman Conquest (1066), when many Norman nobles brought their own names to the country. The name was eventually shortened to Randal to make it easier to pronounce in English.
The original meaning of the name, "protector of the wolf," likely reflects the importance of wolves in Germanic culture. Wolves were feared predators, but they were also respected for their strength and intelligence. The name Randal suggests that its bearer was a warrior who was both fearless and wise.
