Etymology
Dallas is the name of the city and comes from the family name of George M. Dallas, a U.S. vice president, so the city was named after him. The surname probably comes from an old Scottish place word dal meaning 'valley' or 'meadow', which helps you picture Dallas as a place named from the land.
