I just want to add, as is often the case, Hebrew has the same or similar word. In Hebrew, habibi means, my beloved, and has come to mean that, in a more relaxed way. either like myboo, or my homes, whatever.

It's one of many many shared words in the two languages.

love to all.
You made it, habibi! C'mon, sit yourself down!

A casual pet name for friends, like “honey.” Usually used between straight same-sex buddies when they’re feeling affectionate. Americans stole it from Hebrew/Arabic.
