Hazel
ha-zel
US Popularity:63
Origin:British
Meaning:Hazel
With Old English origins, Hazel simply translates to "hazel," referring to the deciduous tree and the color it inspired. From its strong, flexible timber to its late-summer nuts, the hazel tree has been valued for millennia. If you've ever met someone with eyes that are a combination of green, gray, and brown, you've seen the color hazel in all its vibrancy. Timelessly beautiful and grounded in the earth, Hazel is a lovely choice for your new arrival. Though this moniker comes with several nickname options, we think this suggestion from courtelizabeth81708, a member of The Bump community forum, is pretty adorable: "I'm totally calling my daughter my little Hazelnut! Why not?"
