Heroine or halo of light
Hailo is a modern phonetic variation of the word halo, referring to a circle of light. It may also be interpreted as a variant of the German name Haylo, meaning heroine. Its usage in the US is extremely rare, often chosen for its celestial associations and trendy 'o' ending.
