What is the meaning of the name Jindra ?

The baby name Jindra is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Czech: /ˈjɪndra/ — respelling: "YIN-drah".

Jindra is Czech, Slavic in Origin.

Jindra is a Czech name and familiar form of Jindřich (masculine) and Jindřiška (feminine), both derived from Germanic Heinrich; it is also found in Slovak usage. The underlying elements are heim “home, estate” and rīk “ruler, power,” yielding the meaning “ruler of the home/estate.” Used for centuries as an affectionate nickname in the Czech lands, Jindra began appearing as an independent given name in the late 19th and 20th centuries and today functions as a unisex choice, though it still commonly serves as a short form.

Variants and related forms include Jindřich and Jindřiška, with diacritic-free spellings Jindrich and Jindriska. International cognates of the same root are Henry (English), Henri (French), Heinrich (German), Henrik (Scandinavian/Hungarian/South Slavic), Henrich (Slovak), and Henryk (Polish). Diminutive options are Jindra itself, Jindřík (masc.), and Jindruška (fem.). The name carries a steady, traditional feel tied to Central European usage.
