Holladay

It's certainly going to be a day of celebration when baby arrives, and why not pay homage to another momentous day when you gift them with a name? Holladay is a feminine name with roots in Scottish and English. As a variant of Holiday, this moniker means “holy day,” from the Middle English haligdæg. Referencing any day of importance, specifically religious importance, this seems most apt to commemorate little Holly’s entry into your family. Alternatively, Holladay has a secondary meaning of “near the mountain,” which stretches back from ancient Scotland. It was a surname given to those who lived “near the mountain” Holy Day in the country Annadale. So, whether you want to connect baby to their Scottish heritage or your little one was born around a high holy day, they will love their new name!
