Answer:

Another theory of the origin of the shehnai is that the name is a modification of the word "shah-nai". ... The word "shah" refers to a Royal. Since it was first played in the Shah's chambers and was played by a nai (barber), the instrument was named "shehnai". The sound of the shehnai began to be considered auspicious.
