What is the meaning of the name Indar ?

The baby name Indar is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈɪn.dɑːr/ or /ˈɪn.dɑr/ (IN-dar).

Indar is Basque in Origin.

Indar is a masculine given name with two clear etymologies. In South Asia, it is the Punjabi/Hindi vernacular form of Sanskrit Indra, the Vedic king of the gods and deity of rain, storms, and warfare; as a personal name it conveys ideas of sovereignty, might, and protection. In Basque, indar is a common noun meaning strength, force, energy, used directly as a modern given name.

Long used across Punjabi-speaking and Sikh communities, Indar appears both as a standalone and as the first element in compounds such as Indarjit/Inderjit (with -jit/-jeet ‘victory’), Indarpreet, and Indarpal. It is found in North Indian records and across the diaspora. Variants and spellings include Inder, Indra, and Inderjeet/Indarjeet; related feminine forms include Indira. Scripts: Gurmukhi ਇੰਦਰ, Devanagari इंदर/इन्दर; Basque retains Indar. Brief forms include Indy.
