Dingley coat of Arms
What does the Dingley name mean?
English: habitational name from a place in Northamptonshire named
Dingley, possibly from Middle English dingle ‘hollow’ +
Old English leah ‘woodland clearing’.
From the OED: A deep dell or hollow; now usually applied (app. after Milton) to one that is closely wooded or shaded
with trees; but, according to Ray and in mod. Yorkshire dialect, the name of a deep narrow cleft between hills.
Hence, dingly a., abounding in dingles, of the nature of a dingle.
