Surnames: Debardelaben Submitted by: Amber DeBardelaben Origin of Del, Meaning of Del 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.

Surnames: Yandell, Handel Submitted by: Justin Yandell Origin of Del, Meaning of Del Origin: The surname DeForest is a corrupted form of the French family name more commonly spelled Delaforest. The name was derived from the place where someone lived or owned land. The name itself can be traced to an old French word "forest(e)" which has the same meaning as the English word of the same spelling. In French today this word is rendered "foret". Simply the word denotes "of or from the forest". This would have been a way to designate someone who dwelt in or near a forest. Before the establishment of a formal system of hereditary surnames it was a common practice for someone to take on a name of a nearby geographical feature, like a forest. The DeForest name could also have been taken by someone because of the work they did like being a forester or one who grew timber.
