I'd always taken it for granted that "Vandal" was simply a corruption of the name "Vandar." I don't recall any good explanation in the comics for how he chose his oddly redundant moniker.
There might have been some odd bit of the New 52, with him picking up the name while being a wandering mercenary during Arthurian times, which, I assume, must have happened shortishly after he was done being Attila. And I also tend to assume the YJ version of Vandal was around for some of Arthuriana, just since his gimmick so far is he was around for all the memorable bits of history.

People really underestimate the importance of proper dental care.
