Dale Origin and Meaning

The name Dale is a girl's name of English origin meaning "valley".

An early unisex nature name that has been surpassed by others, Dale is still a simple, sylvan and serene option.

Most of Dale's recent best known bearers – father and son race drivers Dale Earnhart, glass sculptor Dale Chihuly – are male, but if you look further back to her heyday as a girls' name (she was Number 237 in 1952), you'll find singing cowgirl Dale Evans (born France Octavia) and Flash Gordon's gal, Dale Arden.
