sahai means help

dont know of any historical reference to it..

Sahai does not mean help. You do speak Punjabi, don't you?

Sahaita means help.

Sahai means helper or helper of.

As in, your Mom says of your relative, "Uh bahut sahai hoia": He helped a lot. He was a big help.

There are plenty of Gurbani references to "sahai".

For example, in the popular shabad, "Tati vao na lagai", this line comes at the end:

ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਭਈ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਭਏ ਸਹਾਈ ॥੨॥੧੫॥੭੯॥

Kahu Naanak Kirapa Bhee Prabh Bheae Sahai ||2||15||79||

Says Nanak, God has showered me with His Mercy; He has become my help and support. ||2||15||79||

 

Akal Sahai is basically the same idea, it's just using the word Akal instead of Prabh (lord).

It's kind of like Khuda Hafiz (God is Protector), but in Punjabi.

i really haven't heard anyone use the word sahai, maybe its used more in some regions than others.  i mostly hear people say madat for help    or sahara for support. 

so sahai means the helper ...

Mughals were central asian origin, babur was from uzbekistan i think, mughals initially spoke some central asian language but later they adopted persian language and culture.

In one of the maharaja ranjit singh series the longer one on youtube, akaal sahai was engraved on the sword which one of his forefathers had ordered to be made specifically for fighting with the mughals.
