Haze

Haze is a modern English given name derived from the Middle English and Old French word hase, referring to the atmospheric phenomenon of light mist or obscured visibility, itself ultimately tracing to early Germanic roots related to gray or dusky hues. Its use as a personal name is largely contemporary, emerging from a trend of adopting evocative nature and atmospheric words as given names. It also functions as an informal short form of Hazel, an Old English name rooted in the hazel tree. Variant forms include Haize and Hayz.
