Ayyo

Ayyo (Arabic: أيو) is a village in central Syria, administratively part of the Hama Governorate, located south of Hama. It is neighbored by Kafr Buhum to the northwest, al-Khalidiyah to the north, Maarin al-Jabal to the northeast, Besirin to the south and Sasikun to the southwest. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics, Ayyo had a population of 1,980 in the 2004 census. Its inhabitants are predominantly Christians.

In an 1828 Ottoman tax register, Ayyu was listed as a relatively small grain-growing village of 6 feddans and paying 660 qirsh in taxes. In 1838, it was recorded as a Greek Orthodox Christian village (though the authors spelled it 'Abbu').
