History & Origin

Hadli respells Hadley, an English surname and place name meaning 'heather meadow.' Hadley rose swiftly for American girls in the two-thousands, and streamlined spellings like this one followed. Hadli appears in United States birth records only in recent years.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its high in the mid twenty-tens, so a Hadli from that peak is a young child or teen today. It reads as a breezy modern respelling of a popular name.

Did you know? Hadli shortens Hadley's spelling while keeping its meadow meaning, part of a broader taste for -i and -li endings on girls' names in the twenty-tens.
