Saee meaning

Saee (सई) is a Hindu girl's name of Marathi origin.

A confidante or female companion (poetic)

Also used to mean: friend

Saee (सई) is a Marathi girls' name meaning a close female friend. Molesworth's Marathi dictionary lists, among the senses of saī, a confidante or female companion, a usage it marks as poetic, and the Dictionary of Old Marathi gives "a female friend". In Marathi songs a woman calls to her friend as sai. It is written with a short vowel and is a different name from Sai (साई), the name linked with Sai Baba of Shirdi, though both are often spelt Sai; the actress Sai Tamhankar's first name is this Marathi saī.
