  1. a surname transferred from the place name, of Norwegian habitational origin, from a farm or locality named Rodal

Where this word comes from

As a surname, a habitational name from a Norwegian farm or locality named Rodal. The medieval farm name in Halsa reflects Old Norse Róðudalr, formed from róða (“bar, pole”) + dalr (“valley”). The first element probably referred to a long ridge near the farm; an older interpretation instead treated it as a river name. First attested in 1332 as i Roðudal.
