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. The sound of the shehnai began to be considered auspicious.
