Kendall
The name Kendall is locational deriving from Kendal in Westmorland and is of great antiquity in the county. The place-name means the valley of the river Kent. The family name was originally de Kendall and many who bore the name held distinguished positions, such as Warden of the Cinque Ports, during the 14th century. The name is now very widespread and families of this name rose to prominence in Cornwall, Durham and in the Midlands. The Herald’s visitations record 14 armigerous families with this name and it is highly probable that most of the families bearing the name who were recorded in the visitations, and whose crests are shown above, originated in Westmorland.
