Hytham

Hytham is a masculine given name of Arabic origin. It is commonly transliterated as Hytham, Hitham, Hathim, or other variants, reflecting differences in rendering Arabic vowels into the Latin alphabet. The name is used across the Arab world and among diaspora communities.

As with many Arabic names, its pronunciation and spelling can vary by country and language, and the form of the name may change in transcription to non-Arabic languages.

In popular culture, Hytham appears as a character in the video game Assassin's Creed Origins. In that game, he is a member of the Hidden Ones and serves as an ally to the protagonist, Bayek, providing information and support as part of the organization that forms the early Assassin lineage. The character helps illustrate the name's association with Arabic-speaking settings and fictional narratives within the gaming world.

The name Hytham does not denote a single historical figure and is primarily encountered as a personal name in real-world contexts, with its recognition largely influenced by contemporary media representations.
