Bratindra is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Bratindra is a masculine given name from the eastern Indo-Aryan sphere, built on Sanskrit elements vrata (vow, sacred observance or fast) and indra (chief, lord). In Bengali and Assamese phonology, vrata becomes brata, yielding the composite sense "lord of vows" or "preeminent in the observance of vows." The name connotes discipline, piety, and steadfast commitment. As a compound, it belongs to the Sanskrit tatpurusha type, with Indra serving as an honorific superlative.

Documented chiefly in Bengal and adjoining regions since the late 19th century, Bratindra gained currency among educated Hindu families and remains in use in India and the diaspora. A notable bearer is the historian Bratindra Nath Mukherjee (1933–2011). Common variants include the compound forms Bratindranath/Bratindra Nath, while alternative spellings such as Brotindra reflect Bengali orthography. Informal short forms include Brata and Indra.
