Barinda is Bengali, Sanskrit in Origin.

Barinda is a South Asian given name most common in Bengali-speaking communities. Linguistically it reflects the Bengali shift of Sanskrit v- to b-, corresponding to Varinda/Varendra. The elements are often analyzed as vara “boon; excellence” + -inda/-indra “lord,” yielding senses such as “bestower of boons,” “excellent, lordly,” or, in a regional reading, “of Varendra/Barind,” the ancient north-Bengal heartland.

Documented since the late 19th–early 20th century in Bengal, the name appears in print alongside the close variant Barindra (e.g., revolutionary Barindra Kumar Ghosh). Usage today is uncommon but familiar in Bangladesh and West Bengal. Variants and related forms include Barindra, Varinda (Hindi/Punjabi), Varendra (toponymic), and the clipped Barind; diminutives such as Bari or Rinda occur. Gender is typically masculine in Bengali, though Varinda is sometimes feminine elsewhere.
