Isn't that Kostas?
If this is a Danish name perhaps it is locative. Dal, "valley", being altered to tal following the S. Who could distinguish between an -sd- sound and an -st- sound? A good gazeteer of Denmark would give us the answer.

Having searched the web I'm of the opinion that this name is Czech. Anybody got a Czech dictionary?
