The unusual spelling of the film's title comes from a mural that Gardner sees on the wall outside the daycare facility his son attends. He complains to the owner of the daycare that "happiness" is incorrectly spelled as "happyness" and needs to be changed.

The school that Christopher's son goes to has a mural made by children that is spelled "Fun Joy Happyness". Christopher points out the spelling mistake and the teacher explains to him that the children don't care how it's spelled, what's important is that they have happiness. This leads Chris to contemplate the inclusion of the concept of the individual's right to "pursuit of happiness" in the Declaration of Independence, and how to pursue a happier, more emotionally secure childhood for his son, than his own had been."

I think it's because the main characters son goes to a day care center called "Happiness" and the proprietor who paints the name on the window can't spell as they're Chinese.
