Hayes Origin and Meaning
The name Hayes is a girl's name meaning "hedged area".
Hayes is a stylish surname name given to more and more baby girls -- nearly 100 in the US last year. That's a considerable number, but many fewer than the nearly 1800 baby boys named Hayes.
Like similar nature-based surnames like Rivers or Forrest, Hayes works equally well for girls and for boys, or even more so given its soft sound which is reminiscent of Hazel.
