Rajendra is Sanskrit in Origin.
Rajendra is a Sanskrit masculine name formed from rāja “king, ruler” and indra “lord; foremost,” yielding the sense “lord of kings,” “king of kings,” or “supreme ruler.” In Sanskrit compounds, -endra functions as a superlative (“best among”), as seen in related names like Narendra and Mahendra, so Rajendra may also be read as “the Indra among kings.” The name is used across Hindu and Indic traditions in India and Nepal.
As a royal epithet it appears in classical literature and inscriptions, and it became a regnal name for several medieval monarchs, most famously Rajendra Chola I of the 11th century Chola dynasty. Modern use spans many Indian languages. Regional and phonetic variants include Rajinder (Punjabi), Rajendran/Rajendar (Tamil–Malayalam), and Rajendra Nath in compound forms; common short forms are Raj and Raju. Cognate feminine formations are rare, but the thematic counterpart is Indrani (“Indra’s queen”). Name days are not traditional.
