About the name Sachin

Sachin derives from sat-chit, pure being and consciousness, though for a billion people the name now means one small right-handed batsman from Mumbai. Few names anywhere have been so completely annexed by a single bearer, and Indian boys born in the nineties carry that association whether they play cricket or not.

Sachin is a boy name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced SUH-chin. On the NameRarity scale it scores 66 out of 100, which places it in the rare band — recognisable but seldom used. Distinctive without needing to be spelled out twice. Its strongest period was the 1990s.
