Narendra
Fewer than 70 men in Poland carry Narendra, so most Poles will never meet one. The name means "lord of men," and it comes to Poland from outside the usual Polish naming pool.
Narendra Pronunciation
Narendra is pronounced nah-REND-rah (/naˈrɛndra/).
What Narendra means
Where Narendra comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Narendra grows from Sanskrit, from the roots nara and indra. Nara means man. Indra is the king of the Vedic gods, a lord of storm and rain, so the compound reads as a title: lord of men. It is not a Slavic name, and no Polish name-day falls to it.
The most famous bearer changed his name. Narendranath Datta, born in Calcutta in 1863, became the monk Swami Vivekananda, who addressed the 1893 Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago. In our own century the name belongs to Narendra Modi, prime minister of India since 2014.
On a Polish class register, a Narendra would sit among the Kowalskis and Nowaks, an Indian name with no imieniny on the calendar. The gloss stays plain. Władca ludzi, lord of men.
