Etymology
From Middle Dutch haeye, from Old Norse hár (“shark”), with the /j/ appearing influenced by the declined forms /hajə(n)/. Probably from Proto-Germanic *hanh-u-, related to *hakô (“hook”), referring to the shark's back fin. Cognate with Swedish haj, and German Hai. See: Old Norse Nouns '
hár', Swedish Nouns '
haj', German Nouns '
Hai'.
