Indhira is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Indhira is a South Asian feminine given name, a modern spelling variant of Indira. It comes from Sanskrit Indirā, an epithet of the goddess Lakshmi, conveying “beauty,” “splendor,” and by extension prosperity and good fortune. The name is sometimes linked to the blue lotus, a Lakshmi symbol, reinforcing associations with grace and abundance.
Used across India and neighboring regions for centuries, it gained broad international recognition through stateswoman Indira Gandhi in the 20th century and later via the diaspora. The dh spelling reflects Tamil and Sinhala romanization conventions rather than a change in pronunciation. Related forms and variants include Indira (standard), Indera (regional/SE Asian), and Indra (a cognate in Sanskrit and a unisex name in Indonesia). Common nicknames are Indi, Indu, and Ira.
