The name Haytham has its roots in Arabic, where it means "young eagle" or "hawk," derived from the elements for a bird of prey. For an English or Scottish audience, it is most familiar as the name of Haytham Kenway, a central character in the Assassin's Creed video game series, who is depicted as a British Templar active in the 18th century, lending the name a dramatic, historical edge. In the real world, it is borne by Haytham bin Tariq Al Said, the current Sultan of Oman, a significant figure in modern Middle Eastern leadership. The name also shares its root with the Arabic word *haythamah*, meaning "eaglet," and is sometimes confused with the name Haitham, a variant spelling more common in certain regions.
