FYI is a common initialism of "For Your Information".

  • FYI, short for 'For Your Information', is commonly used in email or memo messages, typically as the first thing on the subject line, to flag the message as an informational message. This is typically used to mean 'For Your Information (Only)', alternatively stated as 'Info Only', with the intent to communicate to the receiver that 'action is not required'.
  • On the Internet, FYIs are a subset of the RFC series.
The following description is taken from FYI 1, the FYI on FYIs: The FYI series of notes is designed to provide Internet users with a central repository of information about any topics which relate to the Internet. FYIs topics may range from historical memos on "Why it was done this way" to answers to commonly asked operational questions.
