Dagleish Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Of territorial origin from the lands of Dalgleish above the sources of Tinna Water in the parish of Ettrick, Selkirkshire. Individuals of this name on the Border figure constandy in the public records as disturbers of the peace. The first form is the most common. Symon de Dalgles in 1407 witnessed a charter by Robert, duke of Albany in favor of John de Hawdene of the lands of Hawdene and Yethame (RMS., I, 912). Simon of Daigles, probably a son of Symon, was canon and prebend of Askirk in 1448 (REG., 352). Sir William de Daigles was steward to the bishop of Glasgow in 1452 and afterwerds held the same office under the king. John of Daigles or Dalgleis of that Ilk had a remission in the year 1494, and in 1507 there was another precept of remission to three persons of the name, Ade Dalgleisch in Braidnalch, Thomas Dalglesch, and William Dalglesch (RSS., I, 1484). Ninian Daigles was prebendary of Bothwell in 1503 (PDG.), John Dalglese was hanged in 1510 for being concerned in the burning of Branxholm anc Ancrum and other offences (Trials, I, p. 69), Andrew Dawgles or Dawgleich was tenant of Balbrogy, 1507—10 (Cupar-Angus, I, p. 264,273). James Daugleich was member of assize at Cuper in 1521 (SCBF., p. 222), and Lawrence Dalgleish was bailie of Dunfermline in 1556. George Dalgleish, confidential servitor of the earl of Bothwell, was hanged and quartered for participation in the murder of Darnley (Trials, III, p. 495). Offshoots of the family early established themselves in Fife and in Perthshire, and the Dalgleishes of Tinnygask in Fife "successfully avoided any distinction." An account of this family (of Tinnygask) by the marquis de Ruvigny and Raineval was published in the Genealogical magazine, V, p. 315—320, London, 1902.
