Meaning of I in English
- I, the ninth letter of the English alphabet, takes its form from the Phoenician, through the Latin and the Greek. The Phoenician letter was probably of Egyptian origin.

Etymologically I is most closely related to e, y, j, g; as in dint, dent, beverage, L. bibere; E. kin, AS. cynn; E. thin, AS. /ynne; E. dominion, donjon, dungeon.
- In our old authors, I was often used for ay (or aye), yes, which is pronounced nearly like it.

- See Y-.
- The nominative case of the pronoun of the first person; the word with which a speaker or writer denotes himself.
