Hallie

Hallie is an English name that arose as a pet form of Harriet or Harriet-derived names, ultimately tracing back through the Germanic element hari, meaning army or warrior. It has also been used as a feminine diminutive of Henry, sharing that same Germanic root. The name gained independent use in the United States during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, buoyed in part by its bright, informal sound. Related forms include Halle, Hally, and Halley.
