What is the meaning of the surname "Landel"?

Question

I have been unable to find this name on any of the usual name/surname information websites - the most I know is that it seems to be of northern European (scandinavian? german?) origin. Does anyone have any insights into the etymology or original meaning of the name?

Answer 1

This is all I've been able to find and it's origin appears to be Swedish. Landel also seems often to be mentioned in a Scottish context, but I'm not sure of the accuracy of those references.

Land is an English place name that described the man who lived in the country rather than in a town. The term had a more specialized sense in the Middle Ages, and was also applied to a forest glade from Middle English lande = heath. Occasionally, it described the man from Launde in Leicestershire, which was named from the same term. Lawn is a variation. Cognates include Landt, Land (German); Landh, LANDELL, Landelius, Landen, Landin (Swedish ornamental); Landberg, Landegren, Landquist, Landstrom (Swedish compound ornamental).

Answer 2

There are also some immigrants with this name  from France and Germany.
