Meaning
pet form of Harriet, "home ruler"
The story
Hallie is a pet form of Harriet, home ruler underneath, and it is one of the few names in our records with two separate lives a century apart. The first: about 1,400 to 2,500 a decade from the 1890s through the 1920s, a genuine early-century standard. The long middle sagged to about 660. The second life built through the 1990s, about 4,750, reached 7,400 in the 2000s, dipped in the 2010s, and now stands at 9,000 so far this decade, already past the full 2010s and higher than any complete decade in the name's history. That double-peak shape is rare; most revivals climb once and settle. In our records Hallie goes to girls about 39,700 to 1,300, and this decade entirely, 8,971 to zero. The sound explains the endurance: it sits exactly between Hailey and Callie, familiar from every direction at once.

Not on the record in Spain, Puerto Rico, New Zealand and Poland: those registries withhold small counts, so rare uses may sit below their floors.
Not on the Chile record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 5 registrations in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the Montevideo record for 1940 to 2011: that registry withholds nothing, so this spelling was not given there in those years. Not on the France record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 20 births in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the Austria record for 1984 to 2025: Statistik Austria publishes every first name down to a single birth, so this name was not given there in those years (before 2010 the record covers babies with Austrian citizenship only). Not on Norway’s list: Statistics Norway lists only first names carried by 200 or more living people, so rarer names are not shown.
