Halsey is an English surname with several possible origins. It may be derived from Alsa, in Stansted Mountfitchet, Essex, England. This place name was once known as Assey, and was recorded as Alsiesheye in 1268. Another possibility is that the name is derived from Halsway, in Somerset, England. The latter place name is derived from the Old English word elements hals ("neck") and weg ("way", "road").
