Dial Family Crest, Coat of Arms and Name History

It is possible for the surname Dial to have been derived from several sources. As a matter of first importance, the surname may have patronymic origins, deriving from the first name of the bearer’s father. The surname of this family is possibly a variation of the name Diehl, which is itself derived from the name Dudo. The name Dudo was given to people whose personal names began with Theud or Teud, such as Theudoricus, Teuduin, and Thuedulf. As a variant form of Dyall, the name Dial may be more likely to originate in England. Actually, Dial appears to be the phonetic representation of Dyall (pronounced Dile or Dial). As one of those surnames derived from the place of origin of the initial bearer, Dyall or Dial may itself be of local or topographic origin.
