"Hay meadow / rock guardian"

From Old English / Norse

Hallie means dweller at the meadow — from the Old English healh (meadow or hall). The Parent Trap (1998) featured Lindsay Lohan playing twins, one named Hallie, making the name a millennial touchstone. It sounds like the first breath of spring: bright, fresh, and genuinely happy. The -ie ending gives it an approachable warmth that the more formal Harriet lacks.
