thumb|Hajjis in Hajj 2010 Hajji (; sometimes spelled Hajjeh, Hadji, Haji, Alhaji, Al-Haj, El-Hajj, or Al-Hadj ) is an honorific title given to a Muslim who has completed the Hajj, the Islamic pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca.
==Etymology== Hajji is derived from the Arabic ' (), which is the active participle of the verb ' ('to make the pilgrimage'; ). The alternative form '' is derived from the name of the Hajj with the adjectival suffix -ī (), and this was the form adopted by non-Arabic languages.
