Hallary Origin and Meaning

The name Hallary is a girl's name.

Hallary is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Hillary. Hillary derives from Latin and Old French origins meaning "cheerful" or "happy," or possibly from a surname referring to someone who lived near a hill. The unique spelling with double 'l' and 'a' instead of 'i' gives Hallary a distinctive quality while maintaining the recognizable pronunciation. This variant spelling emerged in more recent decades as parents sought ways to customize traditional names. Hallary maintains the strong, accomplished associations of Hillary while standing out on paper. The name remains relatively uncommon, appealing to those who appreciate the familiar sound but desire something slightly different from the more widely-used Hillary spelling.
