Dallis Origin and Meaning

The name Dallis is a boy's name.

Dallis is a masculine name that appears as a variant spelling of Dallas, which originated as a Scottish surname meaning 'meadow dwelling' or 'valley house.' The name gained recognition primarily through its association with the major Texas city, which was named after George Mifflin Dallas, U.S. Vice President under James K. Polk. This alternative spelling with a double 'l' offers a subtle distinction while maintaining the name's strong, distinctive sound. Dallis carries a contemporary feel with echoes of American heritage and Western imagery. While less common than the standard Dallas spelling, Dallis provides a unique variation that retains the familiar sound and associations while standing apart in written form.
