Halloran

An Anglicized form of the Irish surname, Ó hAllmhuráin meaning "descendant of Allmhurán", Halloran could be your solution if you love the nickname Hal, but not Harold or Henry. Ultimately from allúrach meaning "foreigner" or "pirate", this name has been interpreted as meaning "descendent of a stranger from across the seas".

The name might be associated with the character Richard "Dick" Hallorann from Stephen King's The Shining.

Pronounced HAL-uh-ruhn.
