Hali is English in Origin.
Used as a streamlined modern spelling, Hali carries multiple possible roots. In English it aligns with the Haley/Hailey surname line, from Old English heg 'hay' + leah 'clearing,' yielding the pastoral sense 'hay meadow.' It can also reflect Greek Halie (from hals/halios), meaning 'of the sea,' a name borne in myth by sea nymphs. As a cognate to Scandinavian Halli (from Old Norse Hallr 'rock, slope'), it can suggest 'stone' as well.
Found in U.S. data from the late 20th century, Hali rose alongside Hailey/Hayley and is used mostly for girls, though technically unisex. Earlier American Hallie appears in 19th-century records as a pet form of Harriet/Henrietta or an affectionate counterpart to Hal (Henry/Harold). Variants and related forms include Hallie, Halie, Halle, Haley, Hailey, Haleigh, Hayley, Haylee; masculine Hal and Icelandic Halli. Meanings cluster around 'hay meadow,' 'of the sea,' or 'rock,' depending on lineage.
