Halea is Arabic, English in Origin.

Halea is a modern feminine given name with several plausible roots. In English use, it often expands the surname-given Hale, from Old English hal “healthy, whole” or halh “nook, remote valley,” yielding senses like “healthy” or “dweller at the nook.” Some link it to Greek hal- “sea” via the name Halia, giving “of the sea,” though Halea itself is not a classical Greek form.

The name is rare, appearing chiefly from the late 20th century onward, likely influenced by the Haley/Hailey trend. Variants and relatives include Haleah, Hailea, Haelea, and Halia; nicknames Hali and Lea are common. In Polynesian settings, spellings such as Hale‘a or Hālea may occur as creative Hawaiian-styled forms, but these are not traditional personal names; note that hale in Hawaiian simply means “house.”
