Origin: While I have heard a story similar to that above, I have never heard that meaning. I have heard that the name Yandell was a derivative of a word that meant steep.
I paid thirty dollars for this but I am not convinced that this is accurate. It basically says that Yandell is a derivative of Johnson. The woman I bought this from had two other name origins for Yandell but this is the oldest known. The second one she showed me was for the English or Welsh derivative that came latter. I myself am a descendant from the Welsh Yandell?s. I may purchase it later if I cannot find the it myself on the net. I have also found two different coat of arms than the one described below as well.
Surnames in Germany vary greatly due to regional variations. Most German surnames belong to some form of local derivation. Kinship names are more often adopted from given names as opposed to baptismal names of saints and popular figures. In eastern parts of Germany names were influenced greatly from neighboring countries.
The surname Yandell appears to be a variant of the German surname Handel which is of family origin. Surnames, also designated as family names, or alternatively a last name were added to a given, or baptismal name. This name was in many cases inherited and held collectively by members foremost being the father. In this case the name means ?the son of Hans? i.e. the German and Swedish form of John which is Hebrew origin meaning ?God is gracious?. The popularity of the given name was influenced by the fact that this was the name of one of the twelve apostles and a writer of the Gospel of John.
The earliest recorded references to the surname of Handel or a variant appear to be found in German documents from at least the 16th century when Simon Haindl was mentioned in Steyr records in 1597.
The arms described below were granted to the Handel family of Bavaria in 1579 and are recorded in the ?Armorial General? produced by JB Rietstap which was first published in 1884 and describes the armorial bearings of the noble families of Europe.
Blazon of Arms: Or, a bull?s head affrontee sable. The tincture or depicts gold or yellow and indicates the bearer was generous, alternatively it indicates elevation of the mind.

Origin of Ande, Meaning of Ande
Origin: ALEXANDER, a surname in Scotland, probably derived originally from the first king of that name, but chiefly borne by the earls of Stirling and their descendants. The family of Alexander, earls of Stirling, is traced from a remote period by genealogists, who derive it from a branch of the Macdonalds. Somerled, king of the Isles, who lived in the reign of Malcolm the Fourth, and was slain in battle about 1164, had by his second wife Effrica, daughter of Olave the Red, Icing of Man, three sons, Dugall, Reginald, and Angus. After Somerled's death, the Isles, with the exception of Arran and Bute, which had come to him with his wife, descended to Dugall, his eldest son by his second marriage. Dugall also possessed the district of Lorn. On his death the Isles did not immediately pass into the possession of his children, hut appear, according to the Highland law of succession, to have been acquired by his brother Reginald, who, in consequence, assumed the title of king of the Isles.
[Skene's History of the Highlanders, vol. ii. p. 49.]
The portion of property which fell to Reginald's share on his father's death consisted of Islay among' the Isles, with Kintyre and part of Lorn. The genealogists, of the noble family of Stirling have confounded this Reginald with his cousin Reginald the Norwegian, Icing of Man and the Isles, who was contemporary with him, and who was the son of Godred the Black, king of Man, the brother of Effrica, Somerled's second wife. Reginald, lord of Islay and South Kintyre and Icing of the Isles, was the father of Donald, the progenitor of the clan Donald, who had three sons, Roderick, Angus, and Alexander, Roderick's male descendants became extinct in the third generation. The second son, Angus, lord of Islay, the Angus Mohr of the Sennachies, and the first of his race who acknowledged himself a subject of the King of Scotland, was ancestor of the earls of Ross, lords of the Isles, of the lords Macdonald, and of the earls of Antrim in Ireland. His grandson, John, lord of the Isles, took for his second wife, the princess Margaret, daughter of Robert II., and his third son by her, Alexander, Lord of Lochaber, forfeited in 1431, had two sons, Angus, ancestor of the Macalisters of Loup, Argyleshire, and Alexander Macalister, who obtained the lands of Menstrie, Clackmannanshire, in feu from the family of Argyle, and was ancestor of the earls of Stirling. His posterity took the surname of Alexander from his Christian name. He had a son, Thomas, 2d baron of Menstrie, who is mentioned as an arbiter in a dispute between the abbot of Cambuskenneth and Sir David Bruce of Clackmannan, 6th March 1505. Thomas' son, Andrew, 3d baron, was father of Alexander, Alexander, 4th baron, who had a son, Andrew, 5th baron. This gentleman was father of another Alexander Alexander, 6th baron of Menstrie, who died in 1594, leaving an only son, Sir William Alexander, 7th baron of Menstrie and first earl of Stirling, a Memoir of whom is subjoined in larger type.

Origin: ANDERSON, a surname meaning literally the son of Andrew, but as held by families of Lowland origin, denoting more properly a son of St. Andrew, that is, a native Scotsman, as indicated by the Cross of St. Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland, in their shield. The Mid Lothian Andersons, to one branch of which belongs the family of the author of this work, have for crest a crosslet above the crescent; motto, "Gradatiml" The crest evidently has reference to the crusades.
The Gaelic sept of Anderson are said to be on offshoot of the old potent stem of Clan Anrias, from which spring the Mac Andrews, the Mac Gilanders, and the Gillanderses (Skene, vol. ii. p.228). The chief of the sept is Anderson of Candacraig, Aberdeenshire.

Origin: Baeckelandt: Origins of and Meaning of the Flemish Surname Variations of the name BAECKELANDT: BAKELAND BAEKELAND BAECKELAND BAKELANDT BAKELAND BAECKELAND BECKELANDT BAKELANT BAEKELANDT BAKALANDE BAKLANT BAKELANTS
- In Flanders family names became general usage in the 12th century. - These were passed along from father to son of course. - The Council of Trent (1563) required pastors to record family names when two people got married. - But spelling was inconsistent even among siblings and between generations. - The earliest record of someone being said to come from a place by the name ?BAKELANDE? is in a reference book on topography on western Flanders that mentions in 1231 a ?Coram Waltero de Bakelande and Waltero de Warenghen? . - The earliest recorded mention of a surname kin is in 1281 under the form BAKELANT: Abraham dou BAKELANT of Avelgem . - At Kortrijk?s ?Kasselrij? the archives mention one Walterus dictus BAKELANT in 1316. - In 1368 a Jhan vanden Bussche is recorded as having changed his name to Jhan BAKELANDE .
- Later at Herzeeuw (aka Herseaux) in 1398 a Symon, a Pieter and a Hennequin BAKELANT were already well known in the province of Henegouwen. - In 1449 one Jehane BAKELANTS, daughter of a Jans van CURTRIKE (Kortrijk?), is mentioned as a gatekeeper of Brugge . - The earliest reference I am aware of with the spelling as we make it is the birth notice of a Rogerius BAECKELANDT, born in Tielt February 14, 1619. However, his children spelled their names ?BACKELANT? and ?BACQUELANT? underscoring the inconsistency of the written versions of names and contrasting with today?s legal enforcement of a surname?s specific spelling. - The place name ?Bakeland? appears to have various origins. ?Bakeland? was the name of a feudal manor in Waregem and Deerlijk commonly recognized as early as the mid 14th century - ?Den Bake? is also the name of a strip of land in Berten (part of French Flanders now) in 1541 It is also a district in Poperinge in the 16th century: ?houc de bake?. And in Wingene around 1550 in parishes north of the churches we find places named ?Bakenhof? - To understand the meaning of the name we must break it up into its composite parts, ?Baecke? and ?landt?. ?Landt? of course means ?land? or ?country? or ?place? in English. ?Baecke? is more complex and has several origins. - The simplest reference to ?bake? (the original spelling for ?baecke?) is ham or bacon in Middle Netherlandish (the language spoken in the 1200s to 1500s) . - The other known reference to ?bake? found in Flanders in this period were to small poles or stakes, a few fists high, driven in as markers for shepherds on thoroughfares across cultivated fields . - According to a 1996 Belgacom (the Belgian telecommunications monopoly) electronic map, there were 457 households registered under the ?BAECKELANDT? name in Belgium at that time.

Origin: Though this had been much debated, it appears to mean "FALLING STAR"or "the comet that will kill us all". The first syllable can be likened to the words "wan", "wane" or "yang", the first par is a negative drive. And dell is akin to "tell" ""stelle" or "devil". It is not surprising that the tribe consisted of looters, marauders, pillagers, rapists and murders. The name doesn't refer to their fall necesarrily, but to the 'stars' or light around them as well.

Origin: Yantis and it's variants, Gentess Gentiss Yandes, were almost all originally spelled Gentes, but pronounced as beginning with a "Y". After much research with ancient French, it turns out that Gentes had an an alternative spelling at one time, Jantes. Since the Alsace-Lorraine where the family was once owned by France and Germany, it seems likely that it comes from Schweisserdeutch, an Alsatian dialect. The German pronunciation for "J" would be "Y". It is not hard to conceive a middleground for the "G" to be pronounced as a "Y". Gentes was used interchangeably with the word sauvage, as it stems from the latin word gentis, to mean a non-Roman (i.e., Gentium, peoples of the world). Another more familiar derivative is genus, meaning race. Hence, Yantis means savage, or common people

Origin: 'Vanderbeck' comes from the Flemish (and Dutch' Van de beek, which means 'living near the small river'. My grandfather (?1899) told me, that the family 'Vandebeek' moved all to the Frenh speaking part of Belgium, where the people couldn't pronounce it right, so it became 'Vanderbeck'. He told me that he was the first generation, coming back to their roots. Probably, it's true. In the French part of Belgium, you'll find much more 'Vanderbeck', here in the Flemish part, it's all family of us.

Origin: Origins of The Surname ZANDERIGO
Researched from the Manuscript No. 271 DA RONCA. Library of History Cadorina di Vigo Di Cadore 2003 Italy. Translated from Italian to English this day 5 Nov. 2000 The evolution began in 1440 in Comelico Superiore Northern Italy (known as the Dolomites) with a certain gentlemen, surname of ODORICO - ODORICO was later called RIGO for short. One of RIGO's sons was named GIOVANNI shortened to Vanni and later was known as ZANNNI) and again shortened to ZAN - The father RIGO died in 1440. ZAN son of RIGO at that time lived in Casamazzagno and died 1441 - "ZAN" (short for Giovanni ) "DE" (son of) "RIGO" So "GIOVANNI DE ODORICO" became ZAN-DE-RIGO. In these records It is noted that ZAN-DE-RIGO had a son BORTOLO ZANDERIGO living in Caxamazzagno Comelico Superiore -He died 19th October 1461. ---------------------- The origins of the name CASAMAZZAGNO
ONE of the earliest known family established in Casamazzagno in the year 1213 was a Signor MAZZIN - also known as Mazzagno - he was for many years the village elder - his house was refered to as the house of Mazzagno or Casa di Mazzagno - CASAMAZZAGNO -- Research from records in Cadore "The lost village of Cadore:" How did 'Zanderigo' become 'Zanderigo_Iona' ?
Surnames of Comelico Superiore: The first official recording of Surnames in Comelico Superiore northern Italy go back to the 14th Century. During this period many of the villagers had the same surname and for this period names i.e. ZANDERIGO were sufficient to distinguish without difficulty the various families of the village. In these times infant mortality and early deaths were common and village growth was slow - In time the same name families increased in numbers the families grew more difficult to distinguish one from the others Thus began the custom where, to the SON's name was added either the place of birth or name of an ancestor as a nickname. IE: ZANDERIGO_Iona - This custom was continued from father to son more often than not and in time was recognised as legal and binding when signing important documents such as wills, sale and purchasing agreements, testimonies etc ***** Around 1870 when Comunes (councils) began to establish Formal Registry Offices these nicknames (Soprannome) were legally recorded against their surnames. - Some Examples of nick-names all of which are genealogically related . Zanderigo_Iona * Zanderigo_Rosolo * Zanderigo_Macarino * Zanderigo_Conte Zanderigo_Fune' * Zanderigo_Cantarella * Zanderigo_Simon * Zanderigo_Tarala Gasparina_Bais * Gasparina_Naina * Gasparina_Geroni * Gasparina_Ficchio Gasparina_D'Mina * Sacco_Comis * Festini_Cucco * Festini_Zughi D'Ambros_DeFrancesco * Zambelli_Paschei * DeRigo_Cromaro * DeRigo_Piter DeMario_Casau * DeMario_Caprin * Zannantonio_Vena * Zannantonio_Martin ETC The following Sopranome (nicknames) to Zanderigo are no longer in use Cantarella - Conte - Fune' - Simon - Tarala ------
