Life or breath
Khi is often used as a modern, shortened form of names like Malachi or Khari, or as a variation of the Vietnamese name Khi meaning 'breath' or 'life'. In some contexts, it is also associated with the Greek letter Chi. Its brevity and unique spelling give it a contemporary, minimalist appeal.
