Randall And Hopkirk (Deceased): The Complete Series [DVD]

Product Information

There are several variant spellings of the English given name; these include Randal, Randel, Randell, Randle, Randoll, and Rendell. The form Randal has also been used as an Anglicisation of an etymologically unrelated Irish and Scottish Gaelic name, Raghnall. This Anglicisation has been noted as being particularly common amongst several Irish families of note. Randal has not been among the 1,000 most popular masculine baby names in the United States since 1994, and Randall has been among the top 1,000 names since 1906. According to US Census data, in 1990 both names were among the top 500 most popular masculine names in the country. Neither name is currently among the 100 most popular masculine (or feminine) baby names in either the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland.

[2] [note 1] There have been two explanations for the origin of this surname. One explanation is that the surname is derived from the Middle English personal name Randel. This name is a diminutive of the mediaeval personal name Rand compounded with the Anglo Norman hypocoristic suffix -el. [4] The Middle English Rand can be a short form of any of several names composed of the first element rand, meaning "shield" or "rim"; [5] or the Old Norse short first name Randr (variant form Randi, Old Danish Rand), [6] however the specific names associated with Randel are Randulf and Randolf—names that were brought to England by the Normans. [2] [3] [5] Another explanation for the surname Randall, is that it is merely an apocopal form, [7] [8] or mediaeval vernacular form of Randolf. [2] In 1999 he was appointed as an Opposition Whip, but, due to his opposition to Britain's involvement in the Iraq War, he resigned as a matter of conscience in March 2003. [6] He was later reappointed as a Whip in 2003. At the end of 2005 he was promoted to Conservative Assistant Chief Whip. In 2010 he was appointed the joint Deputy Chief Whip and Treasurer of Her Majesty's Household in the Coalition Government.
