Dominant gloss: "Pays situé dans la partie ouest de l’île d’Hispaniola, ayant pour capitale Port-au-Prince. — Note d’usage : Le h initial est officiellement muet, mais on trouve parfois ce mot avec un h aspiré.".
Our generated misspelling index lists 6 likely wrong-spelling variants for Haïti, with forms such as "ahïti", "hatïi", and "haïit".

It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "hit", "hat", "haut", and more, where similar look or sound leads writers to substitute one word for another in context.
