Sai

Boy name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Sai: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2006.

Sai carries a sense of divinity from its Indian Sanskrit origin, where it means 'divine' or 'lord', most famously associated with the 19th-century spiritual leader Sai Baba of Shirdi. It also appears as a Japanese name meaning 'talented' or 'colour', and as a short form of Arabic names like Sa'id. The Indian actor Sai Pallavi and English actress Sai Bennett are contemporary bearers. While there are no major place connections, the name enjoys widespread spiritual significance in India and a growing global appeal. In Scotland, Sai remains an uncommon but meaningful choice, often chosen for its simplicity and cross-cultural resonance.
