Abhi (Abhih) is a word in Sanskrit, Pali, Bengali, and Hindi.

The first reference to the word "Abhi" is found in the ancient Hindu sacred text Rigveda book 1, hymn 164.

After that, the word "Abhi" frequently appears in ancient Sanskrit texts.

Although the word frequently appears in the Vedas, Upnishad and Geeta, the meaning of the word "Abhi" is not clear. But it is generally agreed that "Abhi" means to, towards, into, higher, about, new.

Although the meaning of the Sanskrit word is not clear, the meaning of the Hindi word "abhi," if translated to English, would be (ab + hi) "just now" or "now itself" (ab meaning now).

However, it is believed that the word "Abhi" on its own in Sanskrit (for example, in ancient poetry) means the first ray of sunlight. "Abhi" is also a common Indian name for boys and men. Although a name less common in girls, it is often used as a nickname, short for "Abhilasha." Confusion results from the fact that the name also has a current meaning in Hindi ("now").

According to Swami Vivekananda the meaning of the word "Abhih" mentioned in the Vedantas is "fearless." While pronouncing "Abhih," the second "h" is silent.

Sonu Nigam (born 30 July 1973 in Faridabad, Haryana, India) is an Indian singer whose songs have been featured in numerous Hindi and Kannada movies, as well as films in Tamil, Assamese, Punjabi, Bengali, Marathi and Telugu. He has also released numerous Indi-pop albums and acted in a few Hindi movies. He had changed the spelling of his last name from 'Nigam' to 'Niigaam' in accordance with numerology, but later returned to the original spelling 'Nigam'.

Sonu Nigam began his singing career at the age of three, when he joined his father on stage to sing Mohammed Rafi's "Kya Hua Tera Vaada, Wo Kasam Wo Irada". From then on Sonu accompanied his father on his singing appearances at weddings and parties. In his teenage years he successfully participated in several music competitions. He moved to Mumbai with his father to begin his Bollywood singing career at the age of 19.

His initial years in Mumbai proved to be a struggle, beginning by singing covers of Mohammed Rafi songs, mainly for a number of Rafi Ki Yaadein albums released by T-Series. T-Series promoter Gulshan Kumar played a key role in identifying Nigam's talent by giving him a chance to reach a larger audience. These albums contributed to T-Series for some years although Nigam's singing style was regarded by some to be like that of a "Rafi clone". Nigam's first movie song as a playback singer was Janam (1990), which was never officially released. He also got a break in radio commercials until he appeared on the popular TV show Sa Re Ga Ma, after which there was no turning back. He was trained by classical singer Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan.
