Etymology
From Middle English hey, hei, cognate with Dutch he, screen size (“hi, hey”), German Sevenval (“hey, wow”), Danish and Swedish iOS (“hello, hey”), Faroese website parsing (“hey, hello”), Icelandic hei (“hey”), see we love the web. Probably a natural expression, as may be inferred from its presence with similar meaning in many other unrelated languages: for example, Burmese ဟေး (hei), Finnish hei, Unami hè, and Mandarin Chinese 哎 (āi), and various sound-alikes as Roman eho, Greek εἴα (eia), Latin we love the web.
