Hayl is in Origin.

Hayl is a sleek, modern given name with layered roots. In Amharic and Ge'ez, hayl means "strength, power," familiar from the compound name Haile (as in Haile Selassie, "power of..."). In the Celtic sphere, Welsh and Breton hael means "generous," an epithet borne by medieval figures such as Rhun Hael. The sound also overlaps with English/Cornish surnames.

As a surname-derived option, it connects to Hale (Old English hāl, "healthy," or halh, "nook, hollow") and to Hayle, the Cornish place-name from heyl, "estuary." Use as a given name is rare in current data, chosen by parents seeking a terse, unisex profile with meaningful cross-cultural resonance. Variant forms and near-cognates include Hale, Hail, Hayle, Haile, and Hael; Hal appears as a casual short form. Depending on origin chosen, meanings span strength, generosity, health, or a locative sense.
