What does "hurrahi" mean?  I found a stone in a New Age store with
this engraved on it.

When you say 'stone' do you mean a stone carving or literally a stone, as in a rock.

It is a piece of red agate,( I think), about one-inch cube,tumbled to
be smooth, with the word engraved into it.  All the other stones in
the pile had words such as "power", "health", "prosperity",
"serenity."  Only this one had a non-English word on it.

I ordered (from a catalog whose name I do not remember) a set of seven
smooth "river stones" a few years ago. Each stone had a word engraved
upon it, as you describe. This set included a stone inscribed with the
word "humility." Is there any chance that your stone might say
"humility" rather than "hurrahi"?

The engraving is very clear; two of us even used a magnifying glass to
verify the spelling.  The only peculiarity is that the two "R"s in the
middle of the word are upper-case, and the rest of the word is
lower-case. It looks like this:
huRRahi
