Is Mendela (not Mandela) a Polish surname?
I know an American white man with the surname Mendela who says his ancestors come from Poland. When I saw him on Sunday, I jokingly said to him...your brother died this past week. He knew I meant the more famous 95yr. old South African Nelson Mandela? Is the nonfamous Medela surname in fact Polish?

Yeah, there is:
Mendela derived from German Mandel or from 'mendel' (15 pieces’) - there are 153 people in Poland by the name of Mendela
There are few other similar names like: Mendel, Mendała, Mendala, Medalski, Medelawski and some more
