Safi

Meaning of Safi

Safi, with its roots in Arabic—where it means “pure” or “sincere”—and in Swahili—where it conveys “clean” or “fresh”—is a unisex name that drifts across cultures like a vesper breeze over the Amalfi coast. Pronounced sah-FEE (/sɑˈfi/), it carries the whimsy of cappuccino foam at dawn and the resonance of church bells echoing through a sunlit piazza; it’s like a spoonful of gelato for the soul—sweet, refreshing, and impossible to resist. Since 2012, Safi has quietly brightened American birth announcements between five and sixteen times each year, resting comfortably in the mid-900s of popularity charts—a gentle ascent that speaks to its understated charm. With its promise of unsullied brilliance and a warmth as inviting as an Italian sunset, Safi extends an invitation to every newborn to embrace life with clarity, authenticity, and a touch of Mediterranean romance.
