They are two forms of "heissen", a German verb meaning "to be called". In German, verb endings vary according to who the subject of the verb is. In English we have a cutdown version of this, e.g. I am, you are, he is. Here is the full present tense of the German verb heissen:

ich heisse = I am called, my name is

du heisst = you (singular informal) are called, your name is

er, sie, es heisst = he, she, it is called, his, her, its name is

wir heissen = we are called, our names are

ihr heisst = you (plural informal) are called, your names are

Sie heissen = you (formal, singular and plural) are called, your names are

sie heissen = they are called, their names are

Usage:

ich heisse Wolfgang = my name is Wolfgang

er heisst Heinrich = his name is Heinrich

Heißt: comes from Heissen (3rd person singular present) "Er heißt Max"

Heiße: 1. Comes from Heissen (1st person singular present) "ich heiße Max"

2. Comes from Heiß, meaning "hot" (singular of a feminine article )

" DIE heiße Suppe" (a hot soup -die Suppe-)

I'm learning German too and I found it hard tat fits knowing the difference. But I hope this helped :)

It's used in saying your name. Ich heiße is i am called where as du heißt is you are called.

heisst means you are called and is singular, informal

heiBe is first person singular, i am called

p.e. du heisst : you are called

er/sie/es heißt : he/she/it is called

p.e. ich heisse : my name is

Name... you know they invented this thing called google translate. you should check it out some time

heißt means mean as in 'that boy was mean to me'

heiße means hot as in 'the oven is hot'
