An archaic or dialectal term for a small or minor bend; a slight curve or flexion.
From 'bend' with possible diminutive or variant suffix '-ell.' Very rare in historical texts and essentially obsolete in modern English.
Old English was full of subtle size-distinctions that made their way into names—families named 'Bendell' might have ancestors who had slight curves (possibly physical traits or skills!).
