ArchivesRe: Llandel
in reply to a message by Faelivrin
Ok, thanks, although it would be probably the other way round - the given name of Llandel came before the stage name Yandel in the case of this musician.
Unfortunately this does tell us something about the origin and/or meaning of Llandel which would interest me most.

Both Llandel and Yandel are probably Latin American respellings of Jandel or Jahndel, which are among the many different German diminutives of Johann (John).
I don't know how Jandel came to be used in Latin America, but the use of Johan also shows that Puerto Rican parents have adopted other German forms.
