Yandel
Yandel Origin and Meaning
Yandel is a contemporary masculine name that gained prominence primarily through Latin American culture and music. While the name doesn't have deep historical roots, it emerged in popularity in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, particularly in Puerto Rico and other Spanish-speaking regions. The name received significant attention through Puerto Rican reggaeton artist Yandel (born Llandel Veguilla Malavé), who performed as part of the duo Wisin & Yandel before pursuing a solo career. Yandel has a modern, distinctive sound that appeals to parents seeking unique names. Its popularity has gradually increased among Hispanic communities in the United States and Latin America, though it remains relatively uncommon in broader usage.
