Rajindar is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Rajindar is a Punjabi/Hindustani form of the Sanskrit royal name Rajendra, composed of rāja “king, ruler” + Indra, the Vedic king of the gods. The sense is “lord of kings,” “supreme ruler,” or “Indra among kings.” Punjabi phonology often renders -endra as -inder/-indar; hence parallel spellings Rajinder and Rajendar sit alongside the classical Rajendra.

Borne in its classical guise by medieval South Asian rulers - notably the Chola emperor Rajendra I - the name later flourished in North India, especially among Sikhs, and spread with the diaspora to the UK, Canada, and beyond. Rajindar is common in Sikh contexts and can function as unisex; surnames Singh (male) or Kaur (female) usually indicate gender. Variants and related forms include Rajendra, Rajinder, and Rajendar; common compounds are Rajinderpal, Rajinderjit, and Rajinderpreet. Nicknames and short forms include Raj, Raja, and Inder.
