What is the meaning of the name Heh ?

The baby name Heh is a Male name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced heh (like 'meh'); IPA: /hɛ/.

Heh is Arabic, Chinese, Egyptian in Origin.

From Ancient Egyptian Ḥeḥ (often transliterated Heh or Huh), this name comes from the theonym for the personification of infinity, boundless space, and “millions of years.” In hieroglyphs, Heh is depicted as a squatting figure holding notched palm ribs, a sign of innumerable years, and he forms part of the Hermopolitan Ogdoad alongside his feminine counterpart, Hauhet. As a meaning, Heh evokes eternity, limitlessness, and great abundance.

As a personal name, Heh is virtually unattested in pharaonic records and functions chiefly as a divine name and symbol; modern given-name use is rare but appeals to those seeking a concise, mythological choice with a cosmic sense. Variants and transliterations include Ḥeḥ and Huh; Hauhet serves as a related feminine counterpart rather than a strict variant. The spelling Heh also occurs as an unrelated Chinese-family-name romanization, and “He/Heh” names a Semitic alphabet letter, though with different roots.
