Induja meaning
Induja (इन्दुजा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Born of the moon; a name of the river Narmadā (Revā)
Also used to mean: Narmada
Induja (इन्दुजा) joins Sanskrit indu, "moon", with -jā, "born of", so it means "daughter of the moon". Monier-Williams records indu-jā as a name of the river Revā, better known as the Narmadā, one of the holiest rivers of central India. The masculine indu-ja, "the moon's son", is Budha, the planet Mercury. Name lists give Induja as "born of the moon" and as the Narmada, both of which match the dictionary. It is a gentle name used across India.
