Hallie

Hallie is an English given name that arose as a diminutive or pet form of Harriet and, less commonly, of Halle or Hazel. Harriet itself is an English feminine form of Harry, which derives from the Old French and Medieval Latin form of the Germanic name Henry, meaning ruler of the home. Hallie gained independent use as a given name in the nineteenth century and has remained a familiar choice in English-speaking countries. Related forms include Halle, Hally, and Harriet.
