Hailie

Hailie is a modern English feminine name functioning as a spelling variant of Hayley, which derives from a Yorkshire place name meaning hay clearing or hay wood in Old English, from heg (hay) and leah (woodland clearing). The name gained widespread use as a given name during the twentieth century, largely popularized by the actress Hayley Mills. Hailie itself became particularly prominent through Hailie Jade, daughter of the American rapper Eminem, who frequently referenced her in his music. Other spelling variants include Hailey, Haylee, and Hayleigh.
