My name is Shani and I’ve heard all sorts of pronunciations of my name through schooling life and just if I am out and about but the way I pronounce my name is Shay-Ne so it’s a long a instead of an ah sound.

My name is Shani. I pronounce it “shay-nee” with a long ‘a’. I have heard various pronunciations, however. I never knew there were so many meanings to my name. Very interesting!

It really depends on where you are from, I have heard it three ways, shuh-nee, shah-nee, or shaw-nee. My family pronounces it shah-nee, but most people just call me shaw-nee.

Shani should be distinguished from the Hebrew "adom" (red). Shani means "scarlet". It can be seen to symbolise the "scarlet thread" that runs through Biblical and Jewish lore. Some contemporaries wear a red thread tied around the wrist, believing that the string will protect them from the “evil eye” and bring them good luck.
