What is the meaning of the name Rabindra ?

The baby name Rabindra is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced RAH-bin-drah (IPA: /rɑːˈbɪndrə/).

Rabindra is Sanskrit in Origin.

Rabindra is a masculine South Asian name rooted in Sanskrit, formed from Ravi (sun) + Indra (chief, lord), yielding the sense "sun-lord" or "lord of the sun." The compound evokes brilliance, authority, and benevolence associated with Surya and Indra in Hindu tradition, and it appears in classical Sanskrit poetry and later vernacular literatures.

Use is especially strong in Bengal and Nepal and widely across India and the diaspora. Global recognition grew through Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), whose fame helped stabilize the Rabindra/Ravindra family of names in the modern era. Common variants include Ravindra (standard pan-Indian form), Robindra (Bengali transliteration), and the extended Rabindranath/Ravindranath (with -nath "lord"). Closely related regional spellings are Ravinder and Rabinder in Punjabi (with Inder for Indra). Informal nicknames such as Robin occur in Bengali contexts. Overall, Rabindra blends luminous imagery with a classical pedigree.
