Dallas (name)
Dallas is a male given name that is mainly given in the English-speaking world and is also known as a family name. With English origins, it is probably derived from the Old Norse terms dalr and hus for "valley" and "house". In the case of Scottish origins, a connection to the Breton dol for "meadow" and gwas for "home" can be assumed.
