Origin of Dagle Total Records: 1  Origin of Dagle, Meaning of Dagle Origin: The surname Dalgleish comes from a placename in the Southern Uplands of Scotland. The placename is in a P-Celtic language which is often described as Proto-Welsh or Cumbric. The language had been supplanted by Old English by AD 800 and was certainly dead in the region by the time the Viking Kingdom of York replaced the Saxon realms of Northumbria. The place-name is often translated as meaning "green field". What must be remembered, however, is that the period when it became necessary to have surnames - and thus when the people living there became identified by this place-name, was a long time after the language was dead. The fact that the place-name is at least 1,100 years old reveals nothing about those people who became known by the name. Never-the-less, the name was last recorded as a field name and there is no record of there ever being any substantial settlement there - so it is likely that whoever lived there were farmers or farm labourers and it is remarkable how quickly and how far the name has spread over the past four hundred years.
