sahi

Sahi is a term with multiple meanings and uses in South Asian languages and beyond. In Hindi, sahi means "correct," "right," or "proper," and is used in everyday speech to confirm accuracy, as in phrases equivalent to “that is correct.” In Urdu, a cognate form such as sahih (often romanized as sahi in informal writing) conveys the same sense of correctness. The word appears in common expressions and can feature in names and place names in various communities.

In addition to its linguistic uses, sahi also appears as a proper noun in certain contexts. It may be encountered as a given name or surname among people from parts of South Asia and among diaspora communities, reflecting the term’s cultural reach.

Technology also uses the name Sahi. In software testing, Sahi refers to a tool for automated testing of web applications. The tool is designed to record and replay user interactions, script test cases, and support cross-browser testing, with both free/open-source and commercial editions offered under the Sahi brand. It is used by developers and testers to verify web app behavior across different environments.

Because sahi can denote language usage, personal or place names, or a software product, the intended meaning depends on context. The term embodies both everyday linguistic usage and branded technology identifiers, illustrating how a single word can traverse languages and domains.
