Hallie is an English feminine given name that originated as a
hypocorism for the name
Harriet. Young children often have difficulty in pronouncing the letter
r, which resulted in nicknames that substitute the letter
l for
r. Other examples include
Dolly for
Dorothy,
Lolly for
Laura, and
Molly or
Polly for
Mary, or
Sally for
Sarah.[1][2] The name is also occasionally regarded as a variant of
Hayley.[3]
