Girl name · 12 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Haillie: 12 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 6 births in 2006.
The name Haillie is a modern Scottish variant of Hailey, which itself originates from the Old English words *hæg* ("hay") and *lēah* ("clearing" or "meadow"), meaning "hay meadow." This spelling, with its doubled 'l' and 'ie' ending, gives it a distinctly affectionate, familiar feel in line with other Scottish diminutive forms. While no famous historical bearers are widely documented, the name shares its root with the surname of the astronomer Edmund Halley, though his name is spelled differently. Haillie has been used in Scotland since the late 20th century, appearing in birth records from the 1990s onward. It's an especially popular choice in the Highlands and Grampian regions, perhaps reflecting a fondness for names that sound both pastoral and personal.
