Where this word comes from

From halla. The surname is partly from (mainly northern Finnish) place names referring to crop failures, and it has also been adopted during the Fennicization of surnames in the early 20th century. The oldest records of the surname could also derive from a Germanic origin, perhaps the same names that could be behind Hallila and Halonen. The given name is probably inspired by names like Ella, Milla, Salla on the one hand and Hanna on the other.
