Shai

Shai is a term that refers to several unrelated subjects, including a Hebrew given name, an ethnic group in Ghana, and geographic features named after that community. It does not denote a single, unified entity.

As a given name, Shai is of Hebrew origin and is commonly used for males in Israel and among Jewish communities. It is often described as meaning "gift" or "present." Notable people named Shai include Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, a Canadian professional basketball player in the NBA; Shai Agassi, an Israeli entrepreneur and founder of Better Place; and Shai Wininger, an Israeli entrepreneur and co-founder of Waze. The name has gained use outside Israel in various communities.

In Ghana, the Shai are an indigenous ethnic group traditionally inhabiting the area around Dodowa in the southeastern part of the country, including the Shai Hills area. They have played a role in regional history and interact with neighboring groups and states.

Geographically, Shai Hills Resource Reserve is a protected area in the Greater Accra Region northeast of Accra, known for sandstone hills, scrub vegetation, and wildlife, and serves conservation and tourism purposes.
