Origin: Unknown
Meaning: In France, the surname is most common in the Loire-Atlantic and the North. It is also quite common in Belgium. It's from a place name, but it is hard to know for sure the meaning. One can think of a small shed (hall diminutive), but many localities (the) Hallet refer to wooded areas (eg Wood Hallet in three towns of the Somme). We must therefore think of a place planted saplings (Latin hasletum = willow offspring), or just a coppice (variant thicket). Alternatively, a derivative of the German Hasel (= hazel). We find this name in Belgium in the Walloon towns of Petit-Hallet and Grand-Hallet (province of Liege), also Hallets near Treignes.
