Very interesting. The Hallows may be a reference to the Hallows of Britain from Arthurian Legend, 13 magical objects that were necessary to find the Holy Grail.
An earlier title considered was "The Hallows of Hogwarts - maybe the Deathly Hallows are magical artefacts at Hogwarts that Harry will need to defeat Voldemort?

It is "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."
I am very excited! I looked up Hallow in the online Webster dictionary. It means to make holy devoted or venerate. It's opposite is to desecrate.
When I ran the Microsoft Thesaurus is gave me consecrate or make holy.
Sounds like maybe it is referring to deatheaters or dementors. Possibly Jo is referring to the death eaters as a deadly cult.
It could also be referring to the Horcruxes. I think it makes sense that anything that hold a part of a soul (even ol' Voldy's) could be considered sacred. The fact that the Horcruxes could only be made by killing someone could be the reason for the "Deathly." We also know from HBP that destroying a Horcrux can be dangerous (remember Dumbledore's hand).
Also, James and Lily made their home in Godric’s Hollow, which is quite close to hallow. It would be poetic justice if Voldy died where he killed Harry’s parents.

it doesn't sound all that exciting and seems slightly generic, BUT I'm definitely not gonna judge the book by its title.
I can't wait till we find out the release date!
