Meaning & origin

Sedale is a modern American name that first appeared in Social Security records in 1985. It reached its peak popularity in 1986, after which its usage declined sharply. The name has never ranked among the top 1,000 names, and its one-in-N ratio indicates it is given to fewer than one in a million newborns in recent years. The trajectory of Sedale has been stable at very low levels since the early 1990s. Top states for the name have not been recorded due to rarity. This name reflects the trend of creative respellings and sound combinations that emerged in the late 20th century.

Sedale is a modern American coinage, first recorded in the 1980s. It appears to be a blend of sounds from names like Seth and Dale, or a respelling of Cédric. The name saw a brief peak in 1986 and has since remained very rare.
