Meaning of "Hadley"

Hi all...I have a 5 year old daughter named Hadley. When my husband and I chose it the ONLY thing we didn't love about it was it's meaning "field of Heather"...anyhow...Hadley now has a brain tumor and my husband's hometown newspaper recently did a small article on our little hero. They found the meaning of her name to be "Steadfast Spirit"...but, I can't seem to find anywhere that quotes this as the meaning. =) Can anyone help me out?

Thanks so much!!!

Proud, Proud Mama to Hadley (5), Keegan (3 1/2), and Liam (almost 2)

I visited your website listed for Hadley to find out more. She will be in my prayers and so will the rest of your family. Sorry, no extra info on the meaning of her name.
I will check back in to your website to check on Hadley. The poem at the end is beautiful. Best wishes to you and your family.
