Dallas Origin and Meaning
The name Dallas is a girl's name of Irish origin meaning "skilled".
Dallas is a cowhand name that perhaps surprisingly has always ranked among the Top 1000 names for boys in the US, since records began in 1880, but has only been a Top 1000 girl name for the past decade (along with brief periods in the 1990s and in 1910).
There are still about three baby boys named Dallas for every girl, but that's quite a shift from the year 2000, when the ration was five to one. Dallas is solidly a gender-neutral name now, and has rapidly become as associated with girls as it's long been with boys.
