Halsy

Though it's missing an -e, the gender-neutral name Halsy finds its place next to Halsey. American singer-songwriter Halsey is the latter moniker's most well-known bearer. Her choice of stage name was inspired by her first name, Ashley, which can be spelled Halsey in its anagram form. Both Halsy and Halsey began as English habitational titles, given to those who lived in specific locations. They may have referred to someone "from Halsey Farm," a large farmstead in Sharnbrook, England. Halsy may also translate to "Hal's island," describing those who dwelt on an island of that name. The Old English elements hals, meaning "neck of land," and eg, meaning "island," could have inspired Halsy. The Halsy's and Halsey's of today live all over the world, and your tiny tot will be one of them!
