Combination name, likely meaning the dale or of the valley
Ladale is a modern American invention, likely created by combining the popular prefix 'La-' with the English surname and nature name Dale. Dale refers to a broad valley, suggesting a connection to the landscape. It follows a mid-20th-century trend of creating rhythmic, multi-syllabic names within African American communities.
