About Halle
Until the beautiful actress Halle Berry inspired hundreds of parents to emulate her name, it was the diminutive Swedish families used for their sons christened Harald. Now, in a complete turnaround, it couldn't be more feminine. It is worth noting, however, that its popularity has fallen dramatically since 2002 when it reached a high of 316.
Pronounced HAL-ee.
As of October 2026, Halle ranked #596 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #316 in 2002.
Editor's take: The name Halle is a girl's name of Scandinavian, Norse origin meaning "Thor's stone".
