English: habitational name apparently from an unidentified locality in Westmorland or Cumberland called Iredale (Old Norse Íradalr ‘valley of the Irish’). The earliest record of the surname (1597) occurs in Crosthwaite, near Kendal (Westmorland), through which Arndale Beck runs. The beck name may be a mere corruption of Iredale but it is recorded so late (1857) that it is impossible to judge. This surname is also found in Cumberland from the 1630s, between Keswick and Cockermouth, particularly in Lorton and Loweswater, where Iredale Place in Waterend, Loweswater, is named after the family.
