Kindal is a gender-neutral name with a variety of origins and meanings to give baby an earthy aesthetic. Coming from the Old Norse name Ketill and the Old English hyll, it can translate to “from near the hill.” Kindal can also be a variant of Kendall, meaning “valley of River Kent,” or the Old Norse words keld and dalr, meaning “valley of the spring.” Kindal can also have Hindi roots, connecting baby to the timber tree of the same name native to South India. This makes it a great way to help your little one embrace their inner tree hugger. If you’re looking for a more fiery name, Kindal can also be a fun spin on the word kindle, meaning to “catch fire.” Whether baby prefers to stay down to earth or blaze through different adventures, Kindal can make for a versatile fit.
