Hemi actually is a short form for Hemisphere. The term refers to a hemi engine which has been described as an internal combustion engine in which the combustion chambers are of hemispherical form. For many centuries hemispherical combustion chambers were used in cannon and mortars and these chambers were initiated on some of the earliest automotive engines before the concept of nternal combustion engines were proved.
