Etymology

Possibly a borrowing from a descendant of Sanskrit इन्द्र (índra), or inherited from Proto-Indo-Iranian *Índras. Related to Sanskrit इन्द्र (indra) and Avestan 𐬌𐬧𐬛𐬭𐬀 (iṇdra, name of a daeva). Semantic analysis suggests that it may have influenced by post-Vedic Indo-Aryan parallel to Sanskrit.[1]
