Bardil, later Bartel, is a Germanic given name and surname. It is of ancient European origins that evolved from words meaning "axe", or "beard."[1]
The earliest known man with the name (Latinized) was Bardylis I (born c. 448 BC). Though it is considered an Illyrian name, it may or may not have any direct connection to the German Bardil but is possibly referenced to the archaeological depiction of the use of axes in Illyrian weaponry and Bardylis and his soldiers, who possibly had facial hair. This Germanic name and its earlier forms were first attested during the Early Middle Ages.
The name then spread throughout Eastern Europe and the Balkans. In mostly Belarus and Poland, towns are named after the founder's name whose named Bardil. Most formations of the name are toponymic, namely the Polish Bordziłowski.
The name derives from Old English "bardouleau" or "bardelle", Old French "bartel", and Old Norse "barðill" or "barðal" by evolution of proto-Germanic "bardǭ" (meaning axe) and "bardąz" (meaning beard).[2]
