Haleigh
Girl name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Haleigh: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1992.
A modern respelling of the classic Hayley, Haleigh traces its roots to Old English “hēg” (hay) and “lēah” (clearing or meadow), giving the name a gentle, pastoral meaning of “hay meadow.” Among notable bearers, Haleigh Broucher is an American actress known for her work in children’s television, while Haleigh M. Johnson is a rising voice in contemporary fiction. The name shares its etymological heritage with the English village of Hayley, found in Cambridgeshire and West Yorkshire. Haleigh is part of a cluster of creative spellings—including Hailey, Hayleigh, and Haleigh herself—that gained momentum in the late 20th century, reflecting a broader trend toward personalised, phonetic name forms that still feel familiar.
