Haze is a unisex given name of recent origin, typically used since the late 20th century. It derives from the noun 'haze', which refers to a thin fog or mist in the atmosphere. This name gained popularity due to its unique sound and association with nature. Haze has been featured in popular culture, such as the main character in the video game 'Haze' (2008), further contributing to its recognition.
"Haze seems to have gained popularity as a baby name in recent years, with a steady increase in births from 6 in 2015 to a peak of 15 in 2023. However, there were fewer Hazes born in the years between these peaks."
