Pronunciation of Quale in United States

The American pronunciation of Quale, specifically in Lynchburg, Virginia, United States, is

K W AH L - ee

  • ah sounds like the 'a' in car
  • l sounds like the 'l' in let
  • ee sounds like the 'ee' in see

""Kvale" is the name of at least two large farms near Voss, Norway. Into the 1800s, Norwegian last names were the specific location of birth (ie, generally not the same as one's parents). So a young married couple who settled as tenant farmers on part of the Kvale farm would give their children born on that farm the last name "Kvale"; when the children grew up, married, and moved away, their children would receive different last names derived from birthplace, etc. The farms would have several simultaneous (unrelated) tenant farmer families at any given time, and with every generation new unrelated families took residence, so two Kvales are not necessarily related in any way. "Kvale" was often changed to "Quale" upon immigration to the United States (at which point it became a hereditary last name, of course). And at some point in the late nineteenth century, Norway's naming laws changed in this way as well."
