Randal

Randal is a masculine given name and, less commonly, a surname. It is a variant spelling of Randall and is found chiefly in English-speaking countries, particularly the United States. The name has its origins in the medieval name Randolf or Randolph, which itself derives from Germanic elements that are commonly interpreted as shield and wolf or related compounds; over time, the form Randal emerged as a simplified spelling. Randal is also used as a surname only rarely.

Notable people with the given name include Randal Grichuk (born 1991), American professional baseball outfielder; Randal
