feminine · English (Modern) origin
Hailee is a modern English feminine name that arose as a variant spelling of Hailey, itself derived from the Old English place name Hāleah, composed of the elements heg, meaning hay, and leah, meaning woodland clearing or meadow. The spelling with a double e gained particular visibility through American actress Hailee Steinfeld, which helped establish it as a recognized independent form. Related spellings include Hailey, Haley, Haylee, and Hayley.
