On a document a relative has a name that looks like HAY MEM YOD. Does anyone have any idea what this is ?

It can be the Hebrew name: Ami which mean "my nation", or shortness of Hebrew names: Amichi, Amiran, Amihud

If you have the document posting a picture on Jewishgen's Viewmate will probably give you more productive responses. Here we can only guess wildly without seeing other handwriting for comparison.
Also more information would help like knowing if it's a male or female name, the area and time period of the document, and whether it's actually Yiddish or Hebrew. Good luck! Binyamin Kerman |

My thanks to those who provided answers to my question and the consensus is that “hay mem apostrophe” means “known as”. In this case Ariye known as Leib.

what you're seeing is probably, an abbreviation for
"hamekhuneh", which means "who is called", to
indicate that a nickname follows. typically "yaaqov hm'
qobi" or "yehudah hm' leib", etc.
