Boy
Erdal
Erdal is a Turkish boy’s name associated with bravery and courage, with a long history of use in Turkey.
Meaning
Erdal is generally understood to mean a brave or valiant person. Sources connect this meaning to er, conveying valor, and an interpretation of dal as strength.
Origin
The name is Turkish and is described as a combination of er and dal. The supplied etymology glosses dal as a stick or strength, though that element’s interpretation is best treated cautiously.

How does it look on a plaque?
Erdal would look lovely in simple lettering on a Meşgalem wooden name plaque, with the baby’s birth date tucked beneath.
