History & Origin

Dallys is a stylized feminine spelling of Dallas, a Scottish surname and place name from words for a dale and a meadow. Dallas became a unisex American given name in the twentieth century, and Dallys is a recent respelling chosen to give daughters the familiar sound with a distinctive finish.

Dallys was never common, given to only about fourteen girls a year at its middle-2010s peak and first recorded in the mid-1990s. A girl named Dallys then is still young today; the name rides the modern taste for surname and place names given to daughters.

Did you know? The Dallas behind it is both a Scottish village and the Texas city, and the -ys ending here simply softens the surname into a girl's name.
