What is the meaning of the name Deerendra ?

The baby name Deerendra is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced DEE-ren-dra (approx. /diːˈrɛn.drə/).

Deerendra is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Deerendra is an Indian masculine name, most often a modern transliteration of Sanskrit Dhirendra/Dheerendra. It combines dhīra (steadfast, courageous, composed) with Indra (lord, the Vedic king of the gods), yielding meanings such as “lord of the steadfast,” “chief of the brave,” or “Indra among the courageous.” The double‑e spelling reflects the long vowels in Hindi/Sanskrit pronunciation.

Use is documented across North and Eastern India and Nepal from the late 19th century onward, especially in Sanskritized Hindu naming traditions influenced by the Bengal renaissance and later pan‑Indian cultural revival. Common variants include Dhirendra (standard), Dheerendra (phonetic), and composite forms like Dhirendranath; related but distinct names are Devendra and Virendra, while Indra/Inder share the same divine root. Nicknames and short forms include Dhiru/Dheeru and Indra. A feminine counterpart is Dhira; Indira provides a popular cognate via the Indra element. Though less common than Devendra or Virendra, Deerendra remains recognizable and meaningful.
