Haleigh

Haleigh is a modern English given name and a variant spelling of Hayley, which derives from a place name in West Yorkshire, England, meaning hay clearing or hay meadow in Old English, from heg, meaning hay, and leah, meaning woodland clearing. The name gained widespread popularity as a given name in the twentieth century, partly through the influence of actress Hayley Mills. Related forms include Hayley, Haley, Hailee, and Hayleigh.
