Haim

Haim is a surname of Hebrew origin, derived from the given name Chaim, meaning “life.” In Hebrew and in Jewish communities, Haim is commonly used as both a surname and a given name, and transliteration variants exist. The term also appears in broader cultural contexts as a family name for people of Jewish descent.

Haim (band) refers to an American pop rock group from Los Angeles, formed in 2007 by sisters Danielle Haim, Este Haim, and Alana Haim. The trio gained prominence in the early 2010s and released its debut album, Days Are Gone, in 2013, which blended pop, rock, and indie influences and drew broad critical attention. Their follow-up, Something to Tell You, appeared in 2017, and their third album, Women in Music Pt. III, was released in 2020; the latter received widespread praise for its more personal and socially aware themes. The band is known for its tight three-part harmonies, energetic live performances, and a sound that incorporates 1980s pop sensibilities with contemporary indie rock. Haim has earned multiple award nominations, including nominations at the Grammy Awards, highlighting the group’s impact within modern pop and rock circles. Beyond studio work, they have been noted for collaborations and for shaping a distinctive style that emphasizes familial vocal blending and a modern take on retro influences.
