Étymologie (Anglais)

From Middle English hight (“to be named, be called”) (alternative past participle of hoten, see also hote), from Old English hēht (“was named, was called”, preterite of hātan), from *hehait-, reduplicate preterite base of Proto-West Germanic *haitan, from Proto-Germanic *haitaną (“to call, command, summon”). Akin to German heißen.
