Etymology: Tisdale is a surname and place-name form that the source records simply as a variant of Teesdale, the name of the dale (valley) of the River Tees in northern England. The Teesdale name combines the river's name with "dale," the English word for a valley, so the surname and place-name carry the same picture of a valley along a river. The spelling with "i" in place of the "ee" of Teesdale is the variant form, and it is used for people and places who bear the name.
