Meaning and origin of Sachi
Sachi is a Japanese and Sanskrit name that is usually said to mean “happiness, good fortune”.
Sachi is a Japanese girl's name, often written with a character meaning happiness or good fortune, though other characters are also used. It is also the base of the longer name Sachiko. Separately, in Hindu tradition Shachi or Sachi is the name of the wife of the god Indra, a Sanskrit name linked to strength or power. The Japanese sense is the one most often intended in the US.
