Home to the Taj Mahal, amazing food, great music and Bollywood, India is full of amazing sights, sounds and experiences. Not only is the country a place of endless discovery but the name India itself gained in popularity as a first name during British imperialism.

According to babynamesworld, the word India is a westernization of the Sanskrit word "Sindhu," which means"river" or "large body of water," specifically referring to what is known today as the Indus river.

This name would make a nice alternative to: Asia, Egypt, Chyna or Indira.
