Hazeleigh Origin and Meaning

The name Hazeleigh is a girl's name.

Hazeleigh is a modern feminine name combining the traditional nature name Hazel with the popular '-leigh' suffix. Hazel refers to the hazelnut tree and the greenish-brown color, deriving from Old English 'hæsel.' The '-leigh' suffix comes from an Old English word meaning 'meadow' or 'clearing.' Created as part of the trend of elaborating classic names with trendy endings, Hazeleigh emerged in the early 21st century but remains quite rare. It offers the familiar, nature-inspired charm of Hazel while providing a more distinctive alternative. Parents might choose this name for its blend of traditional roots and contemporary style, though its spelling complexity may lead to frequent corrections.
