Valley; or from the dale
Dallie is primarily considered a diminutive of Dallas, a Scottish surname meaning 'meadow dwelling' or 'valley.' It may also serve as a playful variation of names like Dahlia or Dorothy. In recent years, it has emerged as a rare, stand-alone choice that fits the trend of 'ie-ending' nicknames.
