Bindusar is Sanskrit in Origin.
Bindusar is a Sanskrit-derived masculine name from Bindusāra: bindu “drop, dot; point” + sāra “essence, best part.” It is thus interpreted as “essence of the point/drop,” with poetic readings such as “quintessence” or “one of concentrated strength.” Traditional lexica also associate bindu with auspicious dots, making the name connote focus and auspiciousness.
It entered recorded history as the personal name of the Mauryan emperor Bindusāra (c. 297–273 BCE), son of Chandragupta and father of Aśoka; Greco-Roman authors rendered his epithet Amitraghāta as Amitrochates. The historical form is Bindusāra; modern spellings include Bindusar, Bindusaar, and Bindusara. Regional nicknames may shorten it to Bindu, though that is separately used as a feminine name. Usage today is rare but recognized in India and the diaspora, especially among families seeking names with classical Sanskrit roots and imperial resonance.
Bindusar is vanishingly rare. In all, it appears just 3 times, across 3 countries.
