Halle is English, Norse in Origin.
Multi-origin given name with several converging streams: In Scandinavia Halle derives from Old Norse Halli/Hallr, 'rock, stone,' used as a short form of Hall- names (e.g., Hallvard, Halldor). As a German surname/place-name, it refers to towns called Halle, ultimately from a word for 'salt,' i.e., a salt-works settlement. In English usage it can also be a spelling of Hallie or a streamlined form of Haley/Hailey - either the Old English toponym 'hay clearing' (haeg/heg + leah) or, via Hallie from Harriet, 'home ruler' (from Heimirich).
Adopted as a given name in the Anglophone world in the 19th-20th centuries, Halle remained uncommon until a late-1990s boost linked to actress Halle Berry (named after the Halle Brothers department store). It is occasionally unisex in Scandinavia, more often feminine in English. Variants and relatives include Hallie, Hally, Halley, Hallee, Haley, Hailey, and Haleigh; cognates Halla (fem.) and Halli (masc.) appear in the Nordic sphere.
