What is the meaning of the name Indrasena ?

The baby name Indrasena is a Male name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced Sanskrit: /ɪn.dra.seː.na/ (in-drah-seh-nah); English: /ɪnˈdrə.seɪ.nə/ (in-DRAH-say-nuh).

Indrasena is Sanskrit in Origin.

From Sanskrit, Indrasena combines Indra, the Vedic lord of rain and valor, with senā, “army/host.” The compound conveys “Indra’s army” and, by extension, “one fortified or protected by Indra.” The -sena element is common in classical names denoting martial strength (e.g., Sushena, Viśvasena), so the name carries connotations of leadership, guardianship, and divine backing.

Indrasena appears in epic tradition: the Mahābhārata names Indrasena as Damayantī and Nāla’s daughter; some sources also attest a male bearer. Usage spans many Indian languages and scripts, with modern popularity in North and South India. Variants include Indrasen (Hindi/Marathi), Indra Sena (Telugu/Tamil spacing), and the scholarly form Indrasenā; nicknames Indra and Sena are common. The name functions as unisex today, though it trends masculine in contemporary records.
