There are (at least) two origins of the surname “Hayek”.

In the Czech language, where it is actually und originally written “Hájek”, it is the diminutive of “Hag”, so it means “little forest”. So why is it now written as “Hayek”? Because outside Bohemia and Moravia^[1] (esp. in German speaking countries) it got terribly mispronounced.

In Arabic it means “weaver”^[2]. But beware: there are obviously a couple of transcriptions of that Arabic word from the Arabic script to the Latin script.

So far “all” Hayek-s listed here say, their surnames are from the Czech root.
