What is the meaning of the name Haki ?

The baby name Haki is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced HAH-kee (IPA: /ˈhɑːki/); Turkish variant Hakkı: /ˈhak.kɯ/.

Haki is Arabic in Origin.

Across languages, Haki carries layered meanings. In Swahili, haki means “justice” or “rights,” from Arabic al-haqq “truth/right,” making Haki a modern East African virtue name, often unisex. In Turkish and Balkan usage (notably Albanian), Haki corresponds to Hakkı, derived from the same Arabic root, and has long been a masculine given name. The name also appears in Norse tradition: Haki (or Hake) is a legendary sea‑king in the sagas, with Old Norse haki meaning “hook” or “crook.” In Māori, Haki emerged in the 19th century as a transliteration of Jack; coincidentally, haki is also the everyday word for “flag.”

Variants and cognates include Hakkı, Hakki, Haqqi, Haqi, and Hake; related virtue names are Haq and Haqq. Usage spans heroic saga lore to modern social-justice resonances, so Haki can suggest truth, fairness, and resolute strength.
