Spelling variations in names were a common occurrence before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago. In the Middle Ages, even the literate spelled their names differently as the English language incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other European languages. Many variations of the name Dales have been found, including Dale, Daile, Dales, Dayle, Daele and others.

Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America bore the name Dales, or a variant listed above:
