Since 1259 over two hundred different forms of this name have been recorded, from Dalzeel to Diyell and including the abbreviation ‘DL’, which approximates its proper pronunciation. The name is of territorial origin from the old barony of Dalziel in Lanarkshire. The name itself derives from the Gaelic ‘dal-gheail’, meaning ‘white meadow’, so named because of the colour of the local clay soil. There are also some from Shetland who bear the name; there, it derives from the island of Yell.
