What is the meaning of the name Indrasen ?

The baby name Indrasen is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced in-DRAH-sen (IPA: /ɪnˈdrɑːsən/).

Indrasen is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Indrasen is a masculine Indian name from Sanskrit, formed by Indra (the Vedic king of the gods) + senā (army). The compound literally means “army of Indra,” yielding senses such as “Indra’s warrior,” “protected by Indra’s host,” or “one backed by a divine army.” By association with Indra’s leadership and thunderous strength, the name conveys valor, command, and guardianship.

Epic literature preserves the name: in the Mahabharata’s Nala–Damayanti cycle, some recensions record a son named Indrasen (and a daughter Indrasena), anchoring its classical pedigree. Usage later surfaces in Puranic and regional chronicles and persists in modern North India and Nepal. Principal variants include Indrasena (Sanskrit/classical; also used for girls), Indrasain (Hindustani/Prakrit-influenced), and Indersen (vernacular Hindi). Short forms and related names are Indra, Sen/Sena, and the cognate compounds Mahasen(a) and Satyasen, all echoing martial prowess and divine favor.
