If your ancestors imigrated from Scandinavian countries Dal - or for easy speaking in the U.S they changed into Dale - means valley.

Well, Dale means a bushy vale; low ground, with ground ascending around it. So your ancesters lived in a dale and got known as the people from the dale which over time shortened to Dale. Alot of last names are just locations or occupations.

It means "valley" (like in "over hill and dale.") Some of your ancestors probably lived in a valley in England.

Enlightening, I know.
