Hayzel Origin and Meaning
The name Hayzel is a girl's name.
Hayzel is a contemporary feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Hazel. The traditional name Hazel derives from the Old English word 'hæsel,' referring to the hazelnut tree and its light brown-green color. This modern spelling with a 'y' emerged as part of the trend toward unique orthography in familiar names. Hayzel gained modest visibility in the 2010s when nature-inspired names and creative spellings both saw increasing popularity. While the traditional Hazel has ancient roots and consistent historical usage, Hayzel offers a more distinctive alternative with the same warm, earthy associations. The name conveys connections to nature while the spelling gives it a contemporary twist that sets it apart.
