Randall Forename Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

A male name. Old English Randwulf, compound of rand ‘shield’ and wulf ‘wolf', was current in England before the Norman Conquest, after which it was reinforced by the corresponding Norman name derived from Norse Ranðulfr. The vernacular form in the Middle Ages was Ranulf or Randal, which were latinized as Rannulfus and Randulfus. The abbreviated form Rand and the diminutive Rankin were also common. The surnames Randal, Randall, Randell, Randle,Rand, Randson, Rance, Ranson, Ransom, Rankin, Ranking are derived from Randal and Rand. Rannulf appears to be obsolete Randal was less common after the 15th C, but has never altogether died out. 18th-C antiquarianism coined the form Randolph from Latin Randulfus.
