Hummay (Umme, Houmé or Hume) was the first Muslim mai (king) and founder of the Sayfawa dynasty.
He ruled the Kanem–Bornu Empire from either 1085 to 1097 or 1075 to 1086, after 'Abd ul Jalil of the Duguwa dynasty was overthrown.
This provoked some dissension, causing the toubou to break from the empire and move east.
He performed the hajj twice, but died in Egypt during his third voyage, while accompanied by his son and successor Dunama I.
