Facts About
Hale
Hale is thought to be of two origins, but in both cases it is topographical. It could come from either of two Old English words; ‘halh’ meaning valley or ‘heil’ meaning estuary. This surname could have originally been given to a person living next to either of these places. It could also be locational, as there are several places so-called in Britain. Locational surnames were traditionally given to a newcomer in a town, where the name of their original place of residence would have been assigned to them as a surname to differentiate them. |
