Halle comes from an Old English and Germanic word for a hall or manor, and is also the name of a historic German city. Clean and contemporary in sound, it has a bright, confident feel.
It was carried to global fame by the actress Halle Berry, cementing its place as a modern favourite.
Short, sleek and self-assured, Halle wears well.
Halle does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Halle reduce to 2, The Peacemaker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
