Hailee is a modern English variant of Hayley — from the Old English hēg-lēah ("hay clearing, meadow"). A top-200 US baby name since 2011. Sinners (2025) — leading role opposite Michael B. Jordan. Singing career launched 2015 with "Love Myself"; her single "Most Girls" (2017) was certified Platinum. Founded the Hailee Steinfeld Foundation supporting arts education.
Hailee does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Hailee reduce to 4, The Builder. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
