haesi

Haesi is a romanization that can refer to several topics, depending on context. In Korean, the word 해시 is borrowed from English and pronounced haesi, and may appear in technical or glossary materials. Haesi can also be encountered as a given-name transliteration, though it is not a common Korean given name.

In computing and information security, haesi commonly stands for a hash—a function that maps input data to a fixed-length string. Hashes are used for data integrity checks, digital signatures, and indexing. In Korean-language materials, the term 해시 is used for hash functions, and the English word hash is often used in technical writing. Common hash algorithms include MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256, with their Korean references typically described as 해시 알고리즘.

From an onomastic perspective, haesi as a standalone given name is rare in Korean naming conventions. Korean given names usually consist of two syllables with specific meanings, and while syllables 해 (hae) and 시 (si) may appear in various names, 해시 itself is not a standard given-name form.

In culture and media, there are no widely recognized persons, places, or works specifically titled Haesi in major reference sources. If used as a proper noun, Haesi would generally require disambiguation within a specific context.
