About the name Mahi
Mahi is an old word for the earth that got a second life as the nickname of a cricket captain, and it now runs in two directions at once. Girls take it as a short romantic name from Hindi film songs while boys take it from the dressing room, and both are current.
Mahi is a unisex name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced MAH-hee. On the NameRarity scale it scores 82 out of 100, which places it in the very rare band — a genuinely uncommon pick — most people have never met anyone with this name. Its strongest period was the 2010s.
