Meaning: (Valley, Knowledge of God, Dweller in the valley, Variant of Dale.)
Origin: (Old English, Hebrew, Australian)
Pronunciation: (DEY-L, dayl)
Gender: Uni-Sex
I saw a name the other day that had the last part of it as Daele in it and I loved it. Of course I don't think Daele is a real name. But I found the meaning for Dael to be like Dale so any of the spellings (Daele, Dael, or Dale) could work in my opinion. I love the look of both Daele & Dael. Those spellings spice up Dale and make it look rarer and more unique. Also Daele & Dael are pronounced like Dale. I would love to see these spelling of the name Dale used in a novel.
Character Naming
As an Author naming your Character is an important step right after coming up with the plot. I am here to help you choose the right character name for you and your story.
Make sure your character name is Genre Appropriate. Make sure if it's a Historical Fiction novel or takes place in a real time period that the name was used then. Or if it's a fictionalized place then you can be as creative as you wish.
Just have fun with naming your character. It is after all your story.

I have decided to use this name in a novel I intend to write. I love the meaning because it is said in mythology that Lynx's are said to be ''Keepers of the Secrets of the Forests". I also read a novel with Lynx in the title and I really liked the look of Lynx and the sound. The name abounds in mystery to me. As a given name use cautiously if you intend to name a character this. Make sure it is the right era and genre for this name.
