Hazle
Hazle Origin and Meaning
Hazle is a feminine name that represents a variant spelling of Hazel, derived from the English word for the hazel tree and its light brown color. The hazel tree has long been associated with wisdom and protection in folklore. This alternative spelling gives the traditional nature name a distinctive twist while maintaining its pronunciation. The name gained some popularity during the early 20th century but became less common until a revival of nature-inspired names in recent decades. Hazle carries vintage charm combined with natural imagery, making it appeal to parents seeking something familiar yet uncommon. The name evokes warm, earthy tones and woodland imagery. While less frequently used than the standard spelling Hazel, Hazle offers the same warm associations with a slightly unique presentation.
