It is derived from the Germanic root words "endi" and "loh," which together translate to "at the end of the grove" or "at the edge of the wood." This suggests that the name originated as a descriptive one, likely referring to someone who lived on the outskirts of a forested area.

One of the earliest known references to the name Enderle can be found in the Codex Traditionum Corbeiensium, a medieval document from the Abbey of Corvey in Westphalia, Germany, dating back to the 9th century.
