Origin: Irish

Meaning: High meadow; Swallow

Hanlee is a masculine name of Irish and English origin and comes from the English Hanley or the Irish O'Hanley. Both countries have reasons to believe they are the true owners of your little one's cute name. In Ireland, the expression ainle, meaning "swallow," is believed to be the precursor to the O'Hanley family title. In England, the appearance of towns called Hanley, notably in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, gives credence to their claim. With the meaning of "high meadow," baby Hanlee can combine both English and Irish interpretations to soar high over the beautiful green land.
