Haytham, Haitham or Haitem () is an Arabic male name meaning "young hawk" or "young eagle". It is highly popular among Middle Eastern communities and originated in Arab States of the Persian Gulf.
The name is derived from the ancient Semitic triliteral root H‑Y‑TH, associated in Arabic with a young eagle or hawk, with underlying roots in Proto‑Semitic meanings related to vitality, sharpness, or strong birds of prey. Parallels in other Semitic languages support this origin: in Syriac (Aramaic), terms such as ḥayṭā (falcon, hawk) reflect the same semantic field of sharp‑sighted birds. While in Hebrew, related roots like ḥayyāh (חיה, living creature) show the broader Proto‑Semitic pattern linking the consonants ḥ‑y with life, strength, or predatory birds.
