Haisley is a modern name for a girl, most likely a name-y take on English place and surname names like Hazley, Hazeleigh, or Hazeley — names that get glossed as 'hill enclosure,' 'wet hay-meadow,' or 'woodland clearing,' so there's a real thread of land and landscape running through it. You may see it explained elsewhere as Scottish for 'from the basilica,' but no source backs that up; the surname/place-name story is the one that actually holds together. It's pronounced HAYZ-lee.
