The name [name_f]Shani[/name_f] (שני) has multiple meanings and origins, making it a somewhat versatile choice. In Swahili, it means “marvelous” or “wonderful,” while in Hebrew, it translates to “red” or “scarlet”. It’s also the Sanskrit and Hindi name for the god [name_m]Saturn[/name_m]. In Jewish culture, it’s a unisex name, although more commonly given to girls. Some sources suggest it might be short for [name_f]Shoshana[/name_f] (י) or [name_f]Shoshana[/name_f], but it also functions as a standalone name.

It’s intriguing! [name_f][/name_f] Weirdly I didn’t think of [name_f]Shoshana[/name_f], I went to [name_f]Shira[/name_f] instead. [name_f][/name_f] I am a big [name_f]Shira[/name_f] fan, I do prefer that, but I also love [name_f]Shoshana[/name_f] and [name_f]Shani[/name_f] is interesting.
