The Irish surname Haley, first found in County Sligo, has many variations, but is traceable back to the original ancient Gaelic word(s) meaning either 'ingenious' or 'claimant'.

As a female given name in the Irish culture, it means the same!

But in the Norse, it means 'heroine'.

In the Greek, it means 'thinking of the sea'.

In the Anglo-Saxon, it means 'holy, healthy'.
