About the name Shani
Shani belongs to the English & American tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Shani first appears in Social Security records in 1962. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #665 in 1969, and in 2024 18 babies received the name — 4,518 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
