The first syllable "Ply" is pronounced with a "p" sound followed by an "L" sound as in "play", and the second syllable "male" is pronounced with a "m" sound, an "ey" vowel sound as in "way", and an "l" sound.

The surname "Plymale" is of English origin and is believed to be a variant spelling of the name "Plimley" or "Plimbley", which itself is derived from the place name of Plumley in Cheshire, England. The place name "Plumley" is believed to have originated from the Old English words "plum" meaning "plum tree" and "leah" meaning "woodland" or "clearing". Over time, "Plumley" might have been modified to "Plymale" through various phonetic changes and regional dialects.
