From the valley meadow
Dallis is a variant of the Scottish surname Dallas, which originated from a place name in Moray. It is derived from the Gaelic words 'dail', meaning a meadow or field, and 'uais', meaning noble or high, often interpreted as a valley meadow. While less common than the 'Dallas' spelling, it retains a soft, pastoral quality.
