The Dalziel surname in historical dictionaries
Patronymica Britannica (1860)
DALZIEL. DAIZELL. Anciently written Dallyell, Daleel, Dalyiel, &c. From the barony of Dal-ycel (i.e. ' the beautiful meadow') on the river Clyde. The Earls of Carnwath are the chiefs of the family. The often-quoted romantic story which assigns another origin for the name (See Eng. Surn. ii. 8.) has neither history, etymology, nor common sense to support it.
