Saghi is Persian in Origin.

Saghi (ساقی), also romanized as Saqi or Saki, is a Persian given name of Arabic origin from sāqī, “cupbearer” or “one who pours drink.” In Persianate literature, the sāqī is the enchanting pourer of wine who awakens joy and gnosis; in Sufi symbolism, the Saghi represents the divine giver of grace and inspiration. The name thus carries nuances of refreshment, generosity, and ecstatic insight.

Attested across classical ghazals by Hafez, Rumi, and Khayyam and later in Ottoman and Urdu poetry, Saghi shifted from a literary figure (often male) to a modern given name, most common for girls in Iran yet used unisex across Persian- and Urdu-speaking communities. Variants include Saghi, Saqi, Saaqi, and Saki; note that Japanese Saki is unrelated, and South Asian Sakhi (“generous; friend”) is a distinct name.
