I suspect it varies regionally - English English dictionaries tend to 
have both.

The OS have my local one with the "i" form: 
https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#19/53.99529/-1.03385/2 .  
I can vouch for the name but not the spelling - historically I've always 
heard the name, never seen it written down!

I'm sure I've seen the "y" form on OS OpenData etc. too.

Best Regards,

Andy
