Sakshi is Sanskrit in Origin.

Sakshi (pronounced SAHK-shee) is a feminine given name of Sanskrit origin, from sākṣī “witness,” ultimately linked to akṣi, “eye.” In many Indian languages (Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Nepali, Bengali), sakshi also means a legal witness or testimony, and in Hindu philosophy it denotes the inner witnessing consciousness of the self - the impartial observer associated with awareness and truth.

Variants and spellings: Sākṣī (IAST transliteration), Saakshi, and Sakshi. The name is occasionally unisex but is predominantly given to girls, conveying clarity, presence, and trustworthy testimony.
