Arabinda is Sanskrit in Origin.

Arabinda is an eastern Indic male given name derived from Sanskrit Aravinda (अरविन्द), meaning “lotus.” In classical poetry the lotus symbolizes purity, beauty, and spiritual awakening; related devotional epithets include Aravindākṣa, “lotus‑eyed,” for Vishnu and Krishna. The name thus carries auspicious, devotional overtones while remaining nature-based.

Usage clusters in Bengal, Assam, and Odisha, where sound shifts between v and b yield the form Arabinda from pan‑Indian Aravinda. It appears in medieval bhakti literature and gained steady modern currency in the late 19th and 20th centuries across eastern India, borne by writers, musicians, and public figures. Common variants and short forms include Aravinda, Aravind, Arvind, Arbind, and the South Indian Aravindan; Bengali spellings such as Arobindo also occur. Related feminine counterparts include Aravindā and Padma-based names, retaining the same lotus imagery.
