Raju Nagendra is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Raju Nagendra combines two Sanskrit-derived elements common across South Asia. Raju is a colloquial/diminutive form of Raja (from Sanskrit rājan, “king”), used as an affectionate given name in Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Telugu, and other languages, and sometimes as a family name. Nagendra stems from nāga (“serpent; serpent deity”) + indra (“lord, chief”), an honorific borne by Shiva and the serpent king Shesha, thus meaning “lord of serpents.” Together the full name reads as a masculine pairing with regal and protective overtones.

As a compound personal name, it may function as given + middle name or given + surname depending on region. Both elements are attested in classical Sanskrit and remain familiar in modern India and the diaspora. Variants and cognates include Raj, Raja, Raaju (Telugu), Rajkumar; and for the second element, Nagender/Nagendar, Nagendran, Nagindra (Bengali), Nagesh, Nagaraj/Nagaraja, and Nagendra Nath.
