Hazlewood

From the sight of your home place to the sound of leaves rustling in the breeze, the gender-neutral name Hazlewood sets a beautiful scene. Spelled with le instead of el, Hazlewood is subtly different from Hazelwood, its closest variant. Both monikers are English last names, once given to those who lived near a "hazel wood." In England and across the world, Hazelwood is a popular place name, so perhaps you'll choose this title to introduce your little one to a meaningful location. Or maybe Hazlewood will remind you of the hazel, a deciduous tree that grows individually or in expansive forests. Known for its smooth bark and late-summer nuts, the hazel could represent your sweet Hazlewood's gentle and giving nature.
