The hazelnut tree or light brown color
A French-influenced elaboration of the name Hazel, referring to the hazel tree or the greenish-brown color of the nut. While Hazel has deep English roots, the 'elle' suffix adds a touch of continental flair and femininity. It saw modest use in the early 20th century and is currently being rediscovered as a unique alternative to its popular root name.
