Surnames: Dailey, Daily, Daley, Dalley, Dally, Daly, Dolley, Dolly, O'dalaigh, O'daly Submitted by: Tracey Origin of Dal, Meaning of Dal Origin: The surname DAYTON is perhaps a weak form of DALTON or more probably a variation of DEIGHTON. The form DALTON is derived from the word 'dale', probably referring to the farm or habitation of the earliest English forbears of the American family of DAYTON. The name DEIGHTON is derived from the Danish and originally meant the dike enclosure of the farm by the dike. Variations of this latter form are DAITON, DATON, DAIGHTON, DAYGHTON, and DIGHTON. In early American records, DRAYTON was sometimes used interchangeably with DAYTON. It is recorded that a family, variously noted as DEIGHTON, DYGHTON, and DEYSON, as early as the thirteenth century resided in the vicinity of the hamlet of Deighton, in the parish of Deighton, in the east riding of Yorkshire. This hamlet is about four and a half miles south east from the present city of York. The early DEIGHTONs appear to have been for generations tenants of a farm on the Manor of Deighton. The Abbott of St. Mary's of York is named as the lord of the manor. The family at that time was of the yeomanry, but the family annals reveal a steady rise in both social and economic position.

Submitted by David I Grisdale Grisdale reference 1722 Surnames: Grisdale Submitted by: Origin of Dal, Meaning of Dal Origin: Meaning 'Young Pigs' reference: English Place Names by Kenneth Cameron (1996) Surnames: Grisdale Submitted by: David I Grisdale Origin of Dal, Meaning of Dal 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.
