What is the meaning of the name Jagendra ?

The baby name Jagendra is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /dʒəˈɡɛndrə/ (juh-GEN-druh).

Jagendra is Sanskrit in Origin.

Jagendra is a masculine Indian name formed from the Sanskrit elements jagat (world, living beings) and -indra/-endra (lord, foremost), yielding the sense “lord of the world” or “preeminent in the world.” The -endra element echoes Indra, the Vedic king of gods, and functions as a title of excellence.

The -indra compound is longstanding in Sanskrit onomastics (cf. Rajendra, Mahendra, Yogendra). Jagendra is a rarer, regionally shaped form, likely a contraction of Jagatindra or Jagadindra, and is attested in modern North Indian usage among Hindu and Sikh families. Documented and related variants include Jagatindra, Jagadindra, Jaginder/Jagindar (Punjabi), and Jagendran (South Indian). Names with the same first element include Jagan, Jagannath, and Jagadish. Common short forms are Jag, Jagen, and Inder. The name carries a dignified, regal tone via the -indra suffix, historically used to mark sovereignty and preeminence.
