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
