Pronounced JAH-hee (/dʒə-ˈhi/), it integrates smoothly into Anglo-American usage with minimal risk of mispronunciation. In the United States, Jahi has maintained a modest yet steady presence in birth records since the late 1970s; rather than spiking, its use has fluctuated within the lower tiers of the top 1,000—most recently ranking #911 with thirteen recorded births in 2024.
