Indra Pronunciation
Indra is pronounced EEND-rah (/ˈindra/).
What Indra means
Where Indra comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
The name Indra comes from Sanskrit, where it names the Vedic god of storm and rain, the king of the devas. One old etymology traces it to indu, a drop, which gives the English gloss possessing drops of rain. In the hymns of the Rigveda, Indra wields the thunderbolt and breaks open the clouds so water can fall.
That older sense of command survives in the Polish reading of the name: potężny, władny. Indra rules the sky and the weather in it. The figure is powerful before he is anything else.
In Poland the name is rare. A child called Indra on a school register stands out at once, since it carries no Polish name-day and no local diminutive. What it does carry is old. The short meaning stays literal: possessing drops of rain.
