The Tisdale surname is Anglo-Saxon in origin and was originally given to families living in the area known as Teesdale in northern England in county Durham of the north riding of Yorkshire. It is a topographic name - a name given to a person in relation to a physical characteristic of the area where they live. In this case, the River Tees runs through the Teesdale (dale is a type of valley). The name first occurs in Durham. We don't know if our family actually originally came from this area or not. Spelling variations of the name include Teasdale, Teesdale, Tisdell and Tisdall.
