Wendlin Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(English) belonging to Wendling (Norf.), 13th cent. Wendling, Anglo-Saxon *Wend(e)lingas (dat. Wend(e)lingum) = (the Estate of the) Wendel Family [v. under Wend2, and + the ph, -ingas, ot the Old English 'son' suff. -ing] Abbas de Wendlyng.—Inq. ad q. Damn., A.D. 1352.

But for the occurrence of the same patronymic in Wellingborough (North- ants), the Anglo-Saxon Wendlingburg, we might have suspected the -ing of the Norfolk place-name to be the O.North. and East.E. ing, borrowed from Old Norse English ‘meadow.’
