The Khasi are a tribe in Meghalaya, India and in parts of Bangladesh, who call themselves Hynniew trep (which means "the seven huts" in the Khasi language). They comprise almost fifty percent of the population of Meghalaya, the remainder of whom are mostly Garo. Most Khasi are Presbyterian or Roman Catholic, although there is a tiny Unitarian presence, as well.

The main Arabic word for eunuch. May be derived from the root kh-S-S, meaning special or particular.
