Mendenhall Name Meaning
English: habitational name for someone from either of two places
called Mildenhall, in Suffolk and Wiltshire. The place in Suffolk may
have been named in Old English as ‘middle nook of land’, from
middel + halh, or it may be of the same origin as the
Wiltshire place name, ‘Milda’s nook of land’, from an unattested Old
English personal name + halh. The spelling Mendenhall does not
appear in English sources, and this may be a U.S. variant.
