The same thing in Sanskrit grammar it is called sambodhanaa prathamaa vibhakti. In Sanskrit too, ‘hey’ is used, like ‘Hey Rama’ or ‘Hey Krishna’. However, for some words which end with “i” , instead of prefixing ‘hey’, the final ‘i’ is changed to ‘e’. In this case, the noun in question is ‘Hari’: which ends with an ‘i’.
