Hadlie is English in Origin.

Hadlie is a modern respelling of Hadley, an English surname from the Old English elements haeth (heather, heath) + leah (clearing, meadow), yielding the meaning heather meadow or heath clearing. Found as a place name across England (notably in Middlesex, Shropshire, and Suffolk), it appears in medieval records as a family name before transferring to given-name use in the 19th and 20th centuries. In North America, Hadley rose sharply in the 2000s, especially for girls, helped by the fashion for surname names and the association with Hadley Richardson, Ernest Hemingway's first wife.

Hadlie keeps the sound while offering a lighter, contemporary spelling. Pronounced HAD-lee, it remains unisex in origin though predominantly feminine in current U.S. usage. Variant forms include Hadley, Hadlee, Hadleigh, Hadly, and Hadli; nicknames such as Hads and Haddie occur. Related nature-leaning choices include Heath, Heather, and Henley.
