What is the meaning of the name Jinendra ?

The baby name Jinendra is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced jin-EN-drah; IPA: /dʒɪnˈɛn.drə/.

Jinendra is Sanskrit in Origin.

Jinendra is a masculine name from Sanskrit, built from jina “victor, spiritual conqueror” (from the root ji- “to conquer”) and the honorific -indra/-endra “lord, chief.” The compound functions in Jain tradition as an epithet of the Tirthankaras - enlightened beings who have conquered inner passions - so the name carries the sense “lord of the conquerors,” “supreme Jina,” or “chief among the victorious.” It echoes the Jain greeting Jai Jinendra (“Hail to the Jina”), expressing reverence for spiritual victory rather than worldly power.

In classical Sanskrit and medieval Jain Prakrit texts the title Jinendra appears in hymns and temple inscriptions, and over time it became a personal name, especially among Jain communities in North and Western India; today it is used across India and the diaspora. Variant forms and related names include Jinendrah (transliterated Sanskrit), Jinesh and Jineshwar; short forms Jin and Jinu occur in modern usage.
