Etymology

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.
