Meaning:*
This female name derives from the Old English “Eadwine,” composed of two elements: the Anglo-Saxon “hīġ / hīeġ,” which in turn derives from the Proto-Germanic “*hawją,” meaning “grass cut and dried for use as animal fodder, any mix of green leafy plants used for fodder” plus the Old English “*lēah,” meaning “woodland, a clearing ‘especially one used for farming,’ a meadow.” The name was made famous by the child actress Hayley Mills. Mills was 12 when she was discovered by J. Lee Thompson, who was initially looking for a boy to play the lead role in Tiger Bay. Walt Disney’s wife, Lillian Disney, saw her performance and suggested that Mills be given the leading role in Pollyanna.
