Counsel or advice combined with valley.
A compound name likely formed by combining the Germanic element 'Ray' (from Raymond, meaning counsel or protection) with the English element 'Dell' (meaning a small, wooded valley). It emerged as a rhythmic, invented name in the early 20th century, particularly in the American South.
