Hailie

Hailie is a spelling in the Hailey and Hayley family, originally connected with English places described as a hay clearing or meadow. The landscape meaning belongs to the older surname and place-name tradition. The modern first-name spelling changes the appearance while retaining that familiar sound and background.

Hailie Jade, daughter of the musician Eminem, is a widely known bearer of this particular form. The ie ending gives Hailie a different visual finish from Hailey, while Hayley makes the old hay element easier to see.
