Hayzen is a modern coinage, first recorded in the United States in 2007. It appears to be a phonetic variant of names like Haysen or Hazen, which may ultimately derive from the English surname Hazen (itself a variant of Hason, a diminutive of Harry). However, the spelling with 'z' and 'en' suggests it was formed as a contemporary invented name, influenced by the popularity of similar-sounding names such as Aiden and Jayden.
