Lord of gold
In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Hemendra (हेमेन्द्र) is a North and East Indian name built from two Sanskrit words. Hema is gold, and indra, besides being the name of the king of the gods, is used at the end of a compound to mean the chief or best of something, as in surendra, "chief of the gods". Hemendra therefore reads as "lord of gold", which is the meaning name lists give. Monier-Williams does not record the compound itself, so this is a meaning built from its parts.
