Meaning & origin
Hazley is a modern name that entered U.S. birth records in 2006 and has been steadily rising in use, particularly for girls. In 2025 it ranked 2,564, a significant climb from its early years, with approximately 1 in 23,636 baby girls receiving the name. Its peak year to date was 2024, and it has shown consistent growth since 2008. The name is most popular in Missouri, Ohio, and Texas, reflecting a preference in central and southern states. Hazley fits the trend of surname-style '-ley' names (like Hadley and Harlow) and likely draws from the appealing sound of 'hazel'.
Hazley first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2006 and is likely a modern invention, possibly formed from the English word 'hazel' (referring to the hazel tree or the light brown eye color) by analogy with popular suffix '-ley' (from Old English 'leah' meaning wood or clearing). The name has no pre-modern historical usage and is not attested in any traditional European naming corpus.
