ArchivesRe: Wendell as a first name in the US
in reply to a message by Aine
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., was a well-known member of the Boston literati and friend of Emerson, Longfellow, etc. Wendell had been his mother's maiden name.
Perhaps the name Wendell became popular in the Boston area in his honor. Or do your examples predate his influence (say, before 1830 or so?)
