Re: Khayfets
in reply to a message by Andy
Looks Arabic. Some names that sound remotely similar to the first part of the name (the khay/hei part) are Haytham, which means "young eagle," Hayfa, which means "slender," Khayrat, which means "good deed," Khayri(yya), which means "charitable," and Khayyam, which means "tent maker". A name that sounds similar to the last syllable (-fets) is Fayz, which means "victorious."

The Oxford Names Companion says from Hebrew CHEFETS, meaning "delight, pleasure".
