The original spelling of the surname is Eijman as recorded in the records of the V.O.C. Here is a copy of the record:

He arrived at the Cape on 07-10-1763 but when he registered as a "Vrijburger" on 12-12-1775, the date he left the service of the V.O.C. the surname was recorded as "Eyman"

At the time there was already another Eyman family at the Cape.
EYMAN, Thomas (from Königsberg, , Brandenburg, Germany), a "staljong" who was with Maria GERINGER, from The Cape born about 1700, The Gerringers were from Germany, but Geringer's wife. Anna Groothenning were fom Bengals, India. Three sons were born to them, As such these Eyman's were coloured.

To not be associated, This could have inspired the change from Eyman to Heyman. The "e" simply got left out in some branches of the family.

Please note that this is totally speculative and no proof exists that this was the reason for the spelling change of the surname.

True. Your Dawid Izak Hyman is the son of Stephanus Johannes
Heyman.
Sons of Johan Hendrik Hyman married to Anna Louisa (Buys) Hyman were:
Johannes Philippus (Jan) Hyman married to Maria Jacobi (Smit)
Petrus Jacobus Heyman married to Engela Francina (Esterhuizen)
Stephanus Johannes Heyman married to Anna Louisa (Buys)
& Anna Cathariana Jacomina (Latsky)
Johannes Nicolaas Heyman/Hyman 1832.

My husband is Louis George Reynolds Hyman. 1945
His dad is David Izak Hyman 1900 -1992 and his dad is David Izak Hyman 1868 -1927.
Now here is the missing link...... his dad was Johannes Philippus Hyman (as per his death notice) in geneology writings, they mentioned him as Jan Heyman. (which is not wrong.. but should be used simultaneously with his birth names.)
His dad was Johan Hendrik Hyman 1776 - d.
His dad was Johann Heinrich Eyman, SV/Prog.1747 -1809

My conclusion is that some decided to make use of the e of Eyman and others decided to drop it, but both added the H before Eyman.
We are family of Johan Heinrich Eyman.
