Sudhindra

Sudhindra meaning

Sudhindra (सुधीन्द्र) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.

Chief of the wise (sudhī 'wise, learned' + indra 'chief')

Also used to mean: lord of wisdom, lord of knowledge

Sudhindra (सुधीन्द्र) joins Sanskrit sudhī, "wise, learned", with indra, which at the end of a compound means "the best, the chief of", as in Surendra, "chief of the gods". Monier-Williams gives sudhī as having a good understanding, wise and sensible, and as a noun a wise or learned man, a teacher; the full compound is not a dictionary entry, so it is a later name built from familiar parts. Name lists give Sudhindra as "lord of wisdom" or "lord of knowledge", matching its parts. It is a name long used by Dvaita monks: Sudhindra Tirtha, the 17th-century pontiff, was the teacher of the saint Raghavendra Tirtha.
