Girindra meaning
Girindra (गिरीन्द्र) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Bengali usage).
Prince among mountains, a high mountain; the Himalaya; Shiva
Also used to mean: lord of mountains, Lord Shiva
Girindra (गिरीन्द्र) joins Sanskrit giri, "mountain", and indra, which at the end of a compound means chief or best. Monier-Williams gives girīndra as "prince among mountains", a high mountain, and Apte's dictionary adds that it is an epithet of Śiva and a name of the Himalaya. Name lists give Girindra as "lord of mountains", the Himalaya or Shiva, which matches. The name has a traditional flavour and is best known in Bengal, often as part of longer names such as Girindranath.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Shiva.
