The Surnames of Scotland (1946) by George Fraser Black (1866-1948)

For Eskdale (Celtic + Teutonic) belonging to Eskdale = the Valley of the R. Esk [Gaelic easg, uisge = Welsh wysg. water, river + O.E, dæl or Old Norse dal-r, valley]

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

"At the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, 1685, the ancestor of this family, descended from an honourable house, then represented by the Baron D'Estaile, being a Protestant, fled from France, and lived and died in obscurity in England." Such is the account in B.L.G., which, however, shows no connection between the existing family and the refugee. The name appears to be derived either from Eskdale in Cumberland, or from Eskdaleside, co. York.

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

From Eskdale; a location name in Cambridgeshire.
