Jagindar is Punjabi, Sanskrit in Origin.
Jagindar is a Punjabi and broader North Indian masculine given name formed from Sanskrit elements jagat/jag ("world, cosmos") + Indra/Indar ("lord, chief; king of the gods"), yielding the sense "lord of the world" or "sovereign of the universe." In Sikh usage, Inder functions as a theophoric honorific rather than a literal reference to the Vedic deity, so the name can be read as "God, ruler of the world."
The name has long circulation in Punjab among Sikh and Hindu communities and appears frequently in the 20th century paired with the byname Singh, then travels with the diaspora to the UK, Canada, and East Africa. Principal variants and spellings include Jaginder, Jagendar, and Jagendra; related learned forms are Jagadindra and Jagatinder. Common short forms are Jag and Inder. It is sometimes confused with Joginder (from yog "yoke/yoga"), which is etymologically distinct.
