Now there is a story behind the name given to this instrument - this instrument was played for the first time in the royal residence of the Shah, Shah was a name given to king. (Mughals called the kings as Shah.) As the ‘nai’, that is the Indian term used for a barber had played it for the first time, they called it ‘shehnai’. So, the first part is ‘sheh’ which stands for ‘shah’ and the second part ‘nai’ that is a barber. So, this instrument was named as shehnai.
