Phoebe Halliwell

"I have known you your entire life, there is not a mean bone in your body."

- Piper talking to Phoebe.

Phoebe Halliwell is the middle sister of the Charmed Ones following the death of her eldest sister, Prue. She is the wife of a cupid named Coop and the mother of their three children; P.J Halliwell and her two younger sisters.

Phoebe is often considered to be the weakest of the Charmed Ones, by demons. However she proves them wrong with both her Wiccan powers and martial art skills. Her powers include the power of Premonition, which allows her to see both the future and the past, Levitation, and Empathy. Additionally, Phoebe posses the basic powers of a witch; the ability to cast spells (which is her specialty), brew potions, and scry for lost objects or persons. Furthermore, Phoebe can access The Power of Three, the collective power of the Charmed Ones.

Phoebe is a famous columnist and occasionally a reporter at The Bay Mirror and is the author of the best-seller "Finding Love".

Early Life
Phoebe was born on November 2nd, 1975 to Warren witch Patty Halliwell and mortal Victor Bennett. On March 24th, 1975, Phoebe's powers manifested themselves into her mother from the womb, granting her a premonition. Following this, the unborn Phoebe combined her magic with her two older sisters, Prue and Piper, to use the Power of Three to send their future selves back to their time.

After she was born, her maternal grandmother, Penny, bound her powers in order to keep her safe from the warlock Nicholas who was promised their powers in a pact. To ensure her safety and a normal childhood, Penny erased all magic-related memories, causing her to forget about magic.

Unfortunately for her, almost a year after her birth, Phoebe's mother was killed by the Water Demon. She never got to know her.

At the age of 10, Phoebe was transported by a spell cast by her future self to the year 2002, where she met two older versions of herself and her sisters Piper and Paige. She visited the realm of Whitelighters with Leo. After she helped her older self listen to her heart about marrying Cole, she returned to her own time, where Penny quickly erased her memory of the time travel.

She was a good student, and once earned an award for student of the month, but developed a serious rebellious stage in her teenage years as she began to cause trouble around school and do delinquent things such as shoplifitng. This change of character had often been credited to the fact that Grams had tried to often control her and this resulted in her rebelling. Her sister, Piper said that her rebellious stage was because "Mom" died.

Becoming a Charmed one
On October 7th, 1998, Phoebe returned from New York after spending six months there, following the death of her Grams. On that night, while playing with the spirit board with Piper, the pointer suddenly moved on its own, spelling "attic". To find out more about it, she went up to the attic where she found the Book of Shadows. Phoebe then cast Dominus Trinus that reawakened the powers of the three sisters that were bound by their grams when they were young.

Both Prue and Piper did not believe Phoebe when she told them that they were witches and not just any witches but the most powerful witches of all time. Later that day, she received a premonition of two teenagers getting hit by a car ten seconds before it happened, which allowed her to prevent it. Later, all three sisters managed to tap into the Power of Three and vanquished Jeremy.

Unlike her sisters, Phoebe embraced her destiny as a Charmed One with open arms, and convinced them to embrace their magic as well. By becoming witches, her relationship with Prue improved greatly. They began to talk more often and think of each other as close sisters instead of rivals; their relationship with Piper also progressed.

She studied the Book of Shadows very carefully, which often came handy. At first, she saw magic as a tool and broke the first restriction in the Wiccan rules: magic should not be used for personal gain. She eventually learned to follow the rules though she's made exceptions.

Going back to College


Phoebe's personality became more maturing as well as her knowledge in witchcraft and she decided to get a job but was relatively turned off by the fact she was not educated enough to obtain the jobs she wanted to have.

Afterwards, Phoebe decided to finish her college career and worked hard to keep her studies stable and maintain a relatively normal life. During her college years, she faced many demonic attacks and had to find time to save/protect innocents, which interrupted her studies and almost derailed her plans to pass her college finals. However, she overcame all these obstacles to pass her finals and later graduated from college with a B.A. in Psychology. This was a great and proud achievement for Phoebe, however, because of her charmed duties, she didn't use her degree for two years.

Meeting Cole Turner
"The safest place Cole knows is with me."

- Phoebe talking about Cole.

She met Cole Turner, a half-demon known as "Belthazor" sent by the Triad to kill her and her sisters. They eventually fell in love intimately, prompting Cole to fail his mission to protect her. His betrayal enraged the Triad, whom then tried and failed to kill him. The eventual discovery of his true identity complicated her relationship with her sisters when she faked his death to protect him. The guilt of lying to them motivated her to eventually tell the truth, first with Leo, and then Piper and Prue. Prue was the only one who's more mad at her betrayal than anyone else.

A few months later, Cole returned to San Francisco while hiding from demonic agents, and started to do good deeds to be with her. Though she was dismissive of him at first, she was persuaded when he took Prue to another dimension to save her, and ultimately changed everyone's minds. Cole made up his mind to lose his powers forever in order to be with her, but it was forced to delay when the Brotherhood of the Thorn attempted to emerge with the human society.

After making her witness Cole's assassination of a witch, Raynor almost destroyed her love for Cole. And when a Banshee attacked her, the pain hidden within Phoebe turned her into a Banshee. Piper then summoned Cole to make Phoebe confront her root pain, which worked and allowed her to become a witch again. Knowing that it was Raynor's work to separate them, she decided to take him back into her arms again.

Prue's Death and Finding Paige
"Shax was just the messenger. We need to get The Source."

- Phoebe talking about avenging Prue.

On May 17th, 2001, Phoebe's elder sister, Prue Halliwell, was killed in battle after that she and Piper accidentally exposed their powers on Live TV while fighting the demon Shax.The sudden loss of their sister was devastating for Piper and Phoebe. She stroke a deal with the Source of All Evil: she would stay in the Underworld in exchange for the demonic sorcerer Tempus to rewind time to exactly the moment before Shax stroke.

Though time has reversed, her absence allowed Shax to successfully kill an innocent and send Prue and Piper flying through walls thus killing Prue, and the Power of Three broke. Phoebe managed to escape the Underworld with Leo and Cole's help. After the death of her sister Prue, she tried to remain strong and collected for Piper's sake. Even though she was torn up inside, she wanted to be there for her. At her sister's funeral, she met a woman named Paige Matthews and had a premonition of her getting killed by Shax, the same demon that killed Prue.

With Piper too reluctant to help, she decided to team up with Cole to save Paige. With Cole's investigation, they found out that she was a potential Charmed One who may be able to reconstitute the Power of Three. They interrogated Grams and Patty and found out that Paige was their younger half-sister, who was abandoned at birth for protection. Paige then arrived at the house and when Piper and her shook hands, the Power of Three was recreated just before Shax's attack.

Queen of the Underworld
After she stripped Cole's his powers be becomes fully human. A week later, The Source finally attacks the Charmed Ones by getting The Hollow to obtain their powers. The Seer summoned Cole and imbued within him the power of the Hollow. The Seer suggested that Cole take in the Hollow so he can absorb the Source's powers. However, the Source's essence remained in Cole, entering the void where Belthazor had once been.

Phoebe soon started sensing something was wrong, especially after feeling a premonition about Cole being blocked. Cole then sabotaged his own wedding, in order to trick her into a dark wedding officiated by a dark priest. As a result of the dark wedding, their child would be pure demon. Shortly after the wedding. she became pregnant. With the pregnancy, she began manifesting the ability to shoot flames from her hands and teleportation. Cole's tried to give up his position as the Source of All Evil to an evil Wizard, she used her baby's powers to kill the Wizard. She then joined Cole as his queen.

She tried to live the life of evil, and a combination of hormones and demonic potions made her so cranky, she ended up vanquishing five of Cole's best Demons. Then she tried to play both sides of Good and Evil, but realizing she could not, she rejoined her sisters in opposing Cole. Together they cast a spell which used the power of their ancestors to vanquish Cole.

Shortly after she starts to hear Cole's voice in the wind. He later returns from the Demonic Wasteland from the to save Phoebe from getting killed by a witch hunter. He tells Phoebe that he's not giving up on them.

Cole's Return and Vanquish
"I do love you...and I always will. But it doesn't change anything. It doesn't matter. It's over between us."

- Phoebe finally admits her feelings to Cole.

Phoebe has to deal with her dangerous and invincible ex-husband Cole Turner who has returned from the Demonic Wasteland. Even though she loves him and he loves her, they can't be together because he is still a demon (though he does his best to do good things) and she is still a good witch. This emotional problem sends Phoebe down a spiral of pain, which also affect her powers.

Though he manages to make her confess her true feelings, she still declares that they cannot be together anymore. Her powers remain inactive due to her attempt to avoid Cole by overworking herself at the Bay Mirror. She tries to solve this problem by going to a Gypsy fortune-teller, but also accidentally gives her a premonition of a gypsy hunter. By balancing her time at work and with family, her powers become active once again, and even advance to the point that she can see the future in colors and experience the event like she'd astral projected into her future self.

Cole, blaming Paige's appearance as the start of the problem, becomes an Avatar to change history, thus creating a new timeline where demons prevail the world, and Paige never reconstituted the Charmed Ones as she was killed by Shax. In this timeline, her and Cole are married, but she is as hateful to Cole as she is in the original one, saying that she is only staying with him to protect Piper. Paige manages to orb into the same timeline by accident and is able to make things right by recreating the Power of Three again. Phoebe this time personally vanquishes her former love.

Becoming an Empath
Phoebe became an Empath and gained the new power of Empathy. She is the only Warren witch to become an one. She embraced her destiny with all of her energy and continue to fullfill her Charmed and Empath responsibility. Her new power was hard to control at first and was driving her crazy. It even led her into starting a brawl at the newspaper, but it was very useful in finding out when people were lying and redirecting powers back at demons.

Sometime later, Jason returned to San Francisco wanting to continue his relationship with Phoebe. However, her power was still too strong for her to handle, which lead her to avoid alone with him. Overtime she began to find some control over her power, but her relationship with Jason eventually came to an end when he found out about her powers and her witch heritage. However, she become even more popular as her new power gave her great insight and enable her to read people better.

Phoebe Helping Chris
After she found out who Chris really was, he tried to enlist her help to get his parents back together, but she felt that meddling with Piper and Leo's relationship would be wrong. As Chris tried to persuade his aunt to join his cause, she got a premonition and they both went to a Middle Eastern desert where they rescued a female genie named Jinny from her demonic master.

After she tried to save the genie, she became a Genie herself, with Chris as her new master. Chris decided to take advantage of the situation and wished for Piper and Leo to sleep together, but she outsmarted him and made Piper and Leo fall asleep on the floor. She and Paige managed to get Jinny back in the bottle and free herself. She then assured Chris that everything would work out.

Both Phoebe and Chris share a very special bond and loved each other very much. However, both are equally as stubborn, which often leads them disagree and almost everything. Both are also smart street which makes it near impossible for Chris to trick Phoebe, which frustrate him to no end.

After exhausting all her resources to get Piper and Leo back together, Phoebe decided to just tell them about Chris. However, the couple was brought back together by a Darklighter attack. Afterwards, she tells Piper that Chris was infact her son. She then tried to heal Leo and Chris broken relationship. Chris proved relunctant, but Phoebe was presistant.

Vision of an Alternate Future
When a demonic Seer known as Kyra sought protection from demons in exchange for information she had regarding the looming Avatar threat. Kyra decided to offer the information to the Charmed Ones if they persuaded the Elders to make her human. As two psychics Kyra and Phoebe immediately bonded and quickly grew to trust each other. As they were two psychics, Kyra was able to share her vision with Phoebe through a psychic link.

In this vision of the future, Phoebe was picking up her two nephews Chris and Wyatt and her daughter Prue from school. She also reassures her daughter that demons no longer existed, thanks to the Avatars. Overjoyed with what she saw, Phoebe went and shared the vision with the Elder Odin and force him to honor his promise to make Krya human.

Unfortunately Krya was killed by Zankou before Phoebe could cast the spell to make her human. As Kyra had become somewhat of a friend, her death touched Phoebe and Piper and convined them to go along with Avatars plan. However, Phoebe soon realized that the Avatars future involved killing people and convinced her sisters to stop them. This action completely erased the future Phoebe saw in this vision, however, as her daughter's birth was destinied, Prue would still be born to Phoebe.

Temporary Retirement from being a Charmed One
"I'm not you sis, I'm you cousin remember"

- Phoebe and Piper talking about their new disguise.

After Phoebe and her sisters' astral selves destroyed Zankou and the Nexus in the basement of Halliwell Manor, everyone, both mortal and supernatural, believed they were dead because of the blast created by the vanquish. This was their chance to finally lead a normal life.

The sisters decided to leave their charmed life behind and start over. That is when Phoebe decided that the sisters should choose one appearance and make it a permanent one by the use of a spell. The sisters and Leo changed identities, becoming the cousins of their father Victor. Phoebe's new alias was Julie Bennett and everyone else but her loved ones could only see her "new look". They soon realized, however, that hiding from their identities was a mistake, so after consulting the Department of Homeland Security, she and her sisters returned to their normal lives.

Meeting Coop
"For though I've loved before. I've never really known love, until I met Coop."

- Phoebe talking about Coop.

Phoebe moved out of the manor and got her own apartment in the city. Soon after, she met Coop, who turned out to be a Cupid that was sent by the Elders to help her find her true love. Phoebe at first, disliked Coop and was annoyed and irritated that the Elders would think she needed help to find love, but Coop knew that she was just scared because of all her previous heartbreaks and disappointments and reassured her that her future daughter was destined.

Overtime, she grew to trust Coop and sort his advise on both magical and family matters. However, Phoebe's continuing reluctance and Coop's persistence led to them challenging, amusing and exciting each other. Overtime, little by little, they began to develop feelings for each other, but hid them to save themselves from the trauma Piper and Leo went through. Phoebe finally told Coop that it was him she wanted and the two ingnited their romance with a passionate kiss.

Even though they both believed that their love was forbidden, Coop still insisted that they could have a life together and wanted was willing to fight for them. However, while Phoebe loved him she was afraid of getting hurt. Coop was hurt, but he stuck by her and continued to support her during magical affairs. Soon afterwards, Phoebe found out that the Elders actually sent Coop to her, in the hopes that she would fall in love with him. Delighted, Phoebe and Coop were finally able to embrace the love for each other.

Ulitmate Battle & Victory


When Phoebe found out that Billie was the Ultimate Power, she was reluctant to vanquish her, which lead to a disagreement with Piper, until a spell was cast on her because of Billie. Left no choice but to fight, the sisters acquired the Hollow to become strong enough to destroy Billie and Christy, and the evil Triad. The powers from the Hollow, however, led to the destruction of the Halliwell Manor and both her and Paige were killed in the ensuing explosion.

Coop is devastated when he learned of Phoebe's death and gave a bereaved Piper his ring, so that she could travel back in time to save both Phoebe and Paige. Piper use the ring to Patty and Grams. Then the four travelled back to 2006. Right on the moment that they arrive, the Charmed Ones and the Jenkins' start battle. Time adjusts itself to it's new future and Piper flashes into her past self becoming her present self again. Phoebe and Paige are saved, alive again. Not long after, the Charmed Ones and Billie are able to kill The Triad and Christy and return Patty and Penny safely to their own time again.

One Year and Six Months of Peace
"So much as happen in the last eight years. So much have been gained and lost. Still in some ways I feel like my life is really just beginning. And it was."

- Phoebe talking about the last eight years

After the Ultimate battle, Phoebe and her sisters started writing about their experiences over the last eight years in the Book of Shadows so they can pass it down the way it was passed down to them. With most of the powerful demons vanquished, Phoebe and her family were free from fighting demons for one year and six months. Phoebe and Coop continued their relationship and she continue to work at the Bay Mirror.

Marrying Coop and First Child


After dating for a few months, Coop took Phoebe to Cupid's Temple and proposed. She accepted and was later married to her true love by an Angel of Destiny at the newly regained Magic School. While on their honeymoon she got pregnant with their first child. Nine months later she gives birth to her daughter, Prudence Johnna Halliwell. While she still works for the Bay Mirror, she doesn't live in her condo anymore. She and Coop bought a house in the city and moved into it with "P.J."

Phoebe's New Family
Phoebe gained the life she had always wanted with her husband Coop and her daughter P.J. She and Coop share a very caring, honest and supportive relationship. Coop always supports her, giving her helpful advice and encouragement to overcome whatever obstacle she might face. Phoebe confides in Phoebe all the ups and downs that she had been through and the events surrounding her late sister's death.

Phoebe's daughter, P.J., started developing her cupid powers and while Phoebe was delighted, she admitted that it was also very stressful, as P.J. liked to teleport her mother back to her. One example was when she left for work and was suddenly beamed back home. After initially believing that Coop did it because she forgot a good morning kiss, Coop tells her that t was the work of their baby. She smiles and tells Coop that it might become a problem.

Phoebe's Powers return
"First Levitation. Now Empathy"

- Phoebe and Piper discussing her returned powers.

Phoebe's premonition power appears to have advanced, evident by the fact that she was able to receive one upon command while she and Piper were attending the funeral of Brittany, their first innocent. She wanted to know how Brittany died, so she impulsively touches the coffin and receives a premonition, seeing Brittany looking very old. She explains to Piper that she's as old as when Javna stole her youth nearly ten years before.

Later that same day, Phoebe regained her Levitation power. While looking through the Book of Shadows in the Manor, she receives a premonition so powerful that it causes her to hover in the air. As she levitates, she foresees all of the innocents that she and her sisters have saved, in grave danger. A couple of days later, she regained her gift of Empathy. Phoebe was reluctant to take part in Elise's latest publicity stunt, until her empathy power kicks in and she feels the incredible love of a couple who turned out to be Romeo &amp; Juliet. Later, when she got home, she shares the happy news that her powers are back. It is during this time that Phoebe decides to write a book.

Fighting the Source
The new enemy, Neena, resurrects The Source as a Golem. The Source goes after the sisters and proceeded to attack them, intent on killing them once and for all. The sisters realize that their original Source-vanquishing spell is insufficient, and decide to try something else: using the combined power of "all white magic practitioners in the realm." Phoebe goes through the Book of Shadows and attempts to create a spell using bits and pieces from every page in the Book on the request of Piper.

Phoebe felt very reluctant and doubtful of herself, though Leo quickly reminds her that she's written hundreds of spells before. This inspires Phoebe, and subsequently gives her a new idea and she pens a more powerful version of the Power of Three spell. Before reluctantly leaving, Coop reassures Phoebe that she will beat him. As the battle ensues, Phoebe attacks the Source with a potion, Piper then stabs him with Excalibur and Paige tosses a bottle with the collected magic at him. Combined with the new Power of Three spell, The Source is vanquished finally.

Fear of her Power & Hurting Cal
"That happens less than a year from now and I still don't know what I did to him...What this new power's supposed to be"

- Phoebe talking about her new power.

After Phoebe discovered that her assistant and close friend, Mika was dating Cal Greene, she became worried that the future she saw eight years earlier would eventually come true. She didn't understand her new power and was afraid that she would use it to hurt him. Her sisters try to calm her down and reassure that things have changed. They tell her to use her empathy power to figure Cal out.

Sensing that she was frustrated, on the day of their anniversary, Coop takes her to Cupid's Temple on the Italian Coastline, where he and Phoebe discuss the situation more. Coop has one of his Messenger Cherubs deliver a message, and they discover that while Mika and Cal are in love, it's not eternal; it is not destined to last. She is then worried that it means Cal kills Mika, but Coop, staying positive, points out that at least now she can break them up without interfering with true love.

Phoebe then discovers that the Bay Mirror hasn't published a story about Cal in a few years. Phoebe confronts Elise about this and Elise tells her that she had discovered that the baseball player had been beating his girlfriends. Cal threatened Elise's life so that she wouldn't reveal this information. Phoebe went to Mika to tell her about Cal but Mika already confronted him and told him of Elise's suspisions.

Later that night, Phoebe prepared herself for her web chat at the Bay Mirror with Mika in tow as well as her sisters there for extra protection. However, Phoebe has a premonition of Elise's funeral, realizing that it's Elise who Cal kills. Phoebe and her sisters rush to Elise's side to find her shot by Cal. Paige heals her just in time but Phoebe desires revenge. She realizes that her new power is the ability to channel all of someone's emotions back at them, effectively overloading their brain, killing them. Piper warns Phoebe not to kill Call in vengeance and they come up with a plan to get Cal caught on tape beating a glamoured Elise, whom Phoebe was finally forced to tell that she was a witch.

First Wedding Anniversary


"Cupid's Temple, my favorite view of the Italian Coastline"

- Coop took Phoebe to the temple on their one year anniversary.

Due to the revelation that Cal Greene was dating one of her friends, Phoebe stressed herself out by trying to save Mika's life and stop the events she witnessed in the future from coming true. However, Coop made sure that they got to celebrate their first wedding anniversary. He took her back to Cupid's Temple, as it is her favorite place to be. While at the temple, he tried to ease her worries and offer her his advise and called in a favor to get information for her.

Last Witch Standing
"I'm a multi-tasker. I can find Piper and figure out a way to deal with Neena"

- Phoebe talking to Coop.

The sisters face Neena for the first time and she was able to send Piper to a void with her portal creation power while Phoebe levitated to evade Neena's power. As Phoebe and Paige desperately try to get Piper back, Leo recognizes Neena and orders them to orb away. Back at the manor, he explains to the sisters that Neena is a witch, though not just any witch; she's the first witch.

Phoebe and Paige want to find Piper, but Leo wants them to know Neena's story and the true origin of magic. Afterwards, a plan was decided, which Phoebe hated, for Leo and Paige to go Up There, glamoured as demons to do some reconaissance. They are quickly captured.

Back at the Manor, while in the attic, Coop tries to reassure Phoebe that things will work out. Soon, Phoebe realizes that just as Coop would go to the ends of the earth for her, Neena would do anything to find her love. Recognizing that they're searching for the wrong person, she alters their plan in order to try and find Neena's beloved to solve all of their problems. Phoebe uses the the spell to call blood to blood to find her ancestor, which fails and ends up nearly destroying the attic. Just as she's decided to give up, Paige's body orbs in, unconscious and barely breathing. Phoebe tries to use her empathy, but can't sense any emotions from her. She promises to figure out what to do to save her.

Phoebe calls Sam to help try and wake Paige up with no success. Coop tells Phoebe that while Sam can't help Paige, him being there is still a good thing because now they have a way to contact all the other Whitelighters in hiding. However, a frustrated Phoebe confess to Coop that she can't do it on her own, but he assures her that she isn't alone, she has him.

Phoebe realizes that she can tap into the Power of One to contact her sisters. Phoebe then performs a ritual, drawing a triquetra on the floor and communicates with her sisters telepathically. She tells her sisters that the world is coming apart at the seems and encourages both Piper and Paige to find their way back to her, coming up with a plan to stop Neena before she brings about the apocalypse.

Piper and Phoebe then lead the battle against Neena and reclaim The Heavens. During the battle, Phoebe uses her power to channel all of Neena's emotions back at her though it knocks her down because she feels all of Neena's rage and anger, as well as her compassion, sensing that Neena feels that what she's doing is the right thing. Phoebe is, however, able to incapacitate Neena long enough for the entire Warren line of witches to bind her magic. After the battle, the Angels of Destiny inform her and her sisters that one day if the Power of Three transfers to any of their children, it will happen naturally and not because external forces interceded.

Later Life
With the destruction of all the strong demons of the past, Phoebe was finally able to have a normal live (she still helped innocents, but things became much calmer than her early years). Phoebe continues to give advice through her advice column in The Bay Mirror to all who needed it, but was more interested in helping her readers find love. Phoebe also publishes a New York best-selling book called "Finding Love". She was last seen rushing off for the birth of their third daughter, while Billie tended to their two other girls.

Coop is Phoebe's everlasting true love and soul mate.Together they have three children, Prudence Johnna, Peyton Alexa, and Persephone Faith. She and her husband never splited up over the course of their marriage and spent the rest of their lifes togather. Their three daughters will eventually have children of their own, providing her and Coop with grandchildren of their own. The magical lives of Phoebe and her sisters as the Charmed Ones, is written in the history books of Magic School as well as their own Book of Shadows, which has grown thicker by the time they are 80.

Personality

She is described as rebellious and courageous, she's not afraid to try new things, a trait that both her older sisters admire and envy. She can also be very restless, impatient and quick-witted.

She is also the only Charmed One to be born in the Manor, which make her susceptible to turning evil.

Etymology

 * Phoebe: Is the Latinized form of the Greek name Φοιβη (Phoibe), which meant "bright, pure" from Greek φοιβος (phoibos). In Greek mythology Phoibe was a Titan associated with the moon. This was also an epithet of her granddaughter, the moon goddess Artemis. The name appears in Paul's epistle to the Romans in the New Testament, where it belongs to a female minister in the church at Cenchreae. In England, it began to be used as a given name after the Protestant Reformation. A moon of Saturn bears this name (in honour of the Titan).


 * Halliwell: Derives from any of the several places named with the Old English pre 7th Century elements "halig" meaning "holy", plus "well(a)", a well or spring. These places include Halliwell in Lancashire, recorded as Haliwell circa 1200; Holwell in Dorset and Oxfordshire appearing respectively as Halegewelle and Haliwelle in the Domesday Book of 1086; Halwell and Halwill in Devonshire, recorded as Halgewilla in 1086, and Holywell in Northumberland, Kent, Cambridgeshire and Cornwall.
