The Scottish and English surname Halladay is derived from the Old English term haligdæg meaning “holy day, or religious festival.” The reasons why this word should have become a surname are not clear; probably it was used as a byname for one born on a religious festival day. The name is first recorded in 13th Century England with later recordings in Scotland and Ireland. Today there are approximately 1,600 bearers of the name Halladay living in the US.
