Meaning of...
Can anyone help me find out the meaning of the boy's name Tyndale? (Originally the last name of the Christian martyr William Tyndale.) It is one of my sister's favorites but she is reluctant to use it without knowing the meaning.

Can't prove this, but it looks pleasantly geographical: dale = valley as usual, so Tyn-dale would be the valley of the river Tyne in the north-east of England - absolutely beautiful country, hills and woods and sheep grazing, until you get to the postindustrial waste land where the coal mines and shipyards used to be.I was at school with a girl whose surname was Tyndall; she found a new species of mushroom while doing a biology project! Good vibes all round.
