Hitendra meaning
Hitendra (हितेन्द्र) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Meaning today
Lord of well-being, well-wisher
In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Hitendra (हितेन्द्र) joins two Sanskrit words. Hita means beneficial, wholesome, friendly and kind, and as a noun welfare and the good; indra, at the end of a compound, means the chief or best of something. Read together, the name gives the popular meaning "lord of well-being", and some lists simply say "well-wisher". Monier-Williams does not record the compound, so this meaning is built from its parts. Hiten is a short form, and Hitesh comes from the same root hita.
