What is the meaning of the name Ravindra ?

The baby name Ravindra is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /rəˈvɪndrə/ (ruh-VIN-druh).

Ravindra is Sanskrit in Origin.

Ravindra is a masculine Indian name from Sanskrit, formed from ravi "sun" and -indra, an honorific meaning "lord, chief, the best of." Together it signifies "lord of the sun," "supremely radiant," or "sun-like leader," and functions as a theophoric reference to Surya, the solar deity. The -indra element is widely used in classical compounds to mark excellence, echoing the status of Indra, king of gods, in Vedic lore.

The name appears in medieval and modern Sanskritic traditions and spread across North and South India, gaining wider currency in the 19th-20th centuries and among the global Indian diaspora. Regional variants include Rabindra (Bengali/Assamese/Odia), Ravinder or Ravindar (Punjabi/Hindi), and Ravindran (Tamil/Malayalam); extended forms such as Ravindranath/Rabindranath add natha "lord." Ravi serves as a common short form. Notable cultural visibility comes via figures like Rabindranath Tagore, whose Bengali variant helped popularize the name’s refined, literary aura.
