It was said at the volume 11 that 200 years ago there was a huge human nation around the Azerlisia mountain range, so it's possible that after the rampage of the Demon Gods the remains of that nation became the Empire, the Kingdom and the Holy Kingdom (I discart the theocracy because it's said that it has 600 years of history; but it also could be that a lot of territory of his nation were lost during his battle against the Demon Gods). So it's possible that is as you said, but I don´t think that the Dale name is the big deal, surely a lot of noble families of that time remains. Also, I think that the Dale name is more like a title, because in the case ofLakyus, Raeven and Nimble; the people uses their last names to speak about their families.
