History & Origin

Built on Hazel — Old English haesel for the hazel tree, also used of hazel-colored eyes — Hazelee adds the trendy -lee tail. The base word is genuine; this elongated form is a contemporary touch.

It turns up only sparingly, a fresh spin on a familiar nature name.

Did you know? Hazel does double duty in English: it names the shrub that bears hazelnuts and describes that green-brown shade of eyes.
