The opening as it read in 2025
Chajes ( Ashkenazic Hebrew ), Chayes , Hayyot , Hayyut , and Hiyyut are written in Hebrew characters as Hebrew : חיות . The family name originated in the Jewish community of sixteenth-century Prague, one of many such matronymic names adopted by the community in the period. It means "Chaya's [child/children]." The use of the Hebrew, rather than a Yiddish spelling, thus produced a double entendre seemingly intended to suggest "vitality". Hebrew : חיוֹת means animals ; Hebrew : חיוּת means vitality .
