Meaning & History

Meaning uncertain. In some cases it could be a transferred use of the Swedish surname Ardell. It could also possibly be variant of Ardal, or of Odell or Iredell (perhaps influenced by the initial syllable in names such as Arthur and Ardis 3).

As a feminine name, it could also be a variant of Ardella or Ardelia. Also compare Ardelle.
