Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Haylie

Haylie is yet ANOTHER Americanized spelling variation on “Hayley/Hailey” which originated as English surnames rooted in a place name. The surname was probably coined from Hailey in Oxfordshire, a county in the southeast region of England. Hayley comes from the Old English words “hēg” (meaning ‘hay’) and “lēah” (meaning ‘wood clearing’). The given form of the name really caught on in the United States by the mid-1980’s when Halley’s Comet came through the earth’s atmosphere in 1986, an rare event visible to the naked eye which only happens once every 75 years! The “Hayley” family of female given names is now so popular they are dangerously close to overuse.

All About the Baby Name – Haylie

Personality

OF THE GIRL NAME HAYLIE

Romance is the hallmark of the Six personality. They exude nurturing, loving, and caring energy. Sixes are in love with the idea of love in its idealized form - and with their magnetic personalities, they easily draw people toward them. Like the number Two personality, they seek balance and harmony in their life and the world at large. They are conscientious and service-oriented, and a champion for the underdog. These personalities naturally attract money and are usually surrounded by lovely material objects - but their human relationships are always primary. They thrive in giving back to others rather than being motivated by their own desires. This is when they achieve great things. Sixes are natural teachers, ministers and counselors.

Popularity

OF THE GIRL NAME HAYLIE

There are currently 10 possible variations of this name currently in use. It’s a little obnoxious at this point. Whenever a name is so heavily respelled it has a tendency to cheapen the original charm of the name. Which is too bad for Hailey, an otherwise darling (if not a bit trendy) name. Haylie now joins the ranks with names like Kaylee, Katelyn, Addison and Madison. Ultra-popular but overly mutilated in terms of spelling recreations. Many Americans find these liberal spelling changes a bit kitschy and (dare we say it) white-trash. Hey (or should we say HAY), we get it. Haylie is a cute name. But does it age well on a grown woman? Probably in this day and age (since she’ll have so many contemporary Haylies growing old with her).
