Hayyi

Hayyi is a transliteration variant that appears in languages and texts using the Arabic script. It is closely related to the Arabic root associated with life, commonly represented by the word hayy (حيّ), meaning “living” or “alive.” Because transliteration from Arabic and related languages varies, the form Hayyi may occur in some texts where the more standard spelling is Hayy or Hayyī, depending on regional conventions and scholarly practice. In that sense, Hayyi can appear as part of names or epithets built from the life-related root.

As a term, Hayyi has limited specialized use as a given name or surname in certain Arabic-speaking communities and among diaspora populations. It is not widely documented as a major or widely used given name in global name databases, and there are no widely recognized places or institutions that are universally identified by the exact spelling “Hayyi” in standard reference works.

In literature and philosophy, the related form Hayy appears in Hayy ibn Yaqdān, a 12th-century philosophical novel by Ibn Tufail that has been translated into many languages with varying transliterations. While Hayy ibn Yaqdān is the well-known work, it uses the form Hayy rather than Hayyi; the variant Hayyi may appear in nonstandard transliterations or informal usages.
