Scholars differ on this name
Mashi simply means 'walker', which is harmless. But in Urdu-Punjabi 'masi/mashi' means aunt (mother's sister) or a maid, so it reads oddly as a boy's name.
ماشی کا مطلب 'چلنے والا' ہے جو بے ضرر ہے، لیکن اردو/پنجابی میں 'ماسی' خالہ یا گھریلو ملازمہ کو کہتے ہیں، اس لیے لڑکے کے نام کے طور پر عجیب لگتا ہے۔
