Dalziel is used as a family name or surname in Gaelic. It is 7 characters long in length.
"A favorite of Kenneth II having been hanged by the Picts, and the King being much concerned that the body should be exposed in so disgraceful a situation offered a large reward to him who should rescue it. This being an enterprise of great danger, no one was found bold enough to undertake it, till a gentleman came to the king, and said, Dalziel, that is, "I dare." In memory of his circumtance his descendants assumed for their arms a man hanging on a gallows, and the motto 'I dare.'" The Dalziels afterward became Earls of Carnwath. Unfortunately there is no such word as Dalziel in either the Gaelic or Celtic, which signifies "I dare."
