Dallas
Dallas Origin and Meaning
A laid-back cowboy name which feels both cool and gentle, Dallas has ranked in the US Top 500 since records began in 1880. Never super popular but surprisingly never out of style, Dallas is given to nearly 1400 boys in the US every year.
Although Dallas is often associated with the city in Texas, named for Vice President George M. Dallas, it's also: a Scottish place name with the meaning "meadow dwelling"; an English surname, meaning "valley house" and possibly an Irish name, meaning "skilled, assembly, council, or, blindness" depending on the translation.
Today, Dallas is a gender neutral option too, though it is still given to nearly three times as many boys as girls. Currently a Top 300 choice Dallas meets a number of recent name trends: fresh though well established, a last name that works easily as a first name, and complete with an outdoorsy, nature-inspired meaning.
