History & Origin

Hazelmae joins Hazel (Old English haesel, the hazel tree; also the eye-color) with Mae, a form of May. The two-names-as-one habit is a real and long-standing American custom, now written without the space. Rare and vintage-sweet (said 'HAY-zul-may').

It appears only recently and rarely as a single written name. Newly emerging, cozy, and vintage.

Did you know? Hazelmae fuses Hazel — the tree, and the warm brown of its nut — with Mae, the springtime pet name, into one written name; a charming example of the double-name style long loved in the American South (said 'HAY-zul-may').
