feminine · English (Modern) origin
Hailee is a modern English feminine name that arose as an elaborated spelling variant of Hailey, itself derived from the Old English place name Hailey, meaning hay clearing or hay meadow, from the elements hæg (hay) and leah (woodland clearing). The spelling with a double e reflects a trend in contemporary naming toward distinctive orthographic forms. Related spellings include Haley, Haylee, Hayley, and Haily.
