Dayle Origin and Meaning

The name Dayle is a boy's name.

Dayle is primarily used as a masculine name, though it has seen usage for both genders. It derives from the Old English word 'dæl' meaning 'valley,' making it a topographic surname that evolved into a given name. Dayle can also be considered a variation of Dale or a blend of Day and the popular -le ending. The name saw modest popularity in mid-20th century America but remains relatively uncommon today. Dayle has a simple, unpretentious quality with its single syllable and straightforward pronunciation. The spelling variation with the 'y' adds a touch of distinctiveness to this nature-inspired name. It carries connotations of peacefulness and natural beauty associated with valley landscapes, while remaining concise and modern in feel.
