The name Haïti comes from the indigenous Taíno language (Ayiti) which was the native name given to the entire island of Hispaniola to mean, "land of high mountains."

The h is silent in French and the ï in Haïti, is a diacritical mark used to show that the second vowel is pronounced separately, as in the word naïve.
