Haylee

Haylee is a variant spelling of the English name Hayley, which is derived from the Old English words 'hæg' meaning 'hay' and 'leah' meaning 'meadow' or 'clearing'.

The name Hayley likely originated as a surname referring to someone who lived near a hay meadow or clearing. It later transitioned into use as a given name.

Haylee is a relatively modern variant spelling that emerged in the late 20th century, potentially influenced by the popularity of similar names like Haley and Bailey.

While the name has English origins, it has become popular in various English-speaking countries, particularly in the United States and Canada.
