Meaning & origin
The name Sachi offers a gentle, melodic quality that has appealed to American parents since it first appeared in U.S. records in 1922. Its ranking of 5,410 and rate of 1 in 69,881 births show it remains rare, but it reached its peak popularity in 2004. Since then, its usage has been gradually falling. The name's straightforward meaning of 'happiness' or 'blessing' in Japanese gives it a positive, universal appeal. Sachi fits well with the trend of short, vowel-ending names and has seen consistent, if modest, use in the U.S. over the past century.
