Please start a new thread when you ask an unrelated question: there is little point in having `threads' of discussion otherwise.
In Sanskrit, indira means beauty, the etymology is unclear. It is usually the epithet of lakSmI, the goddess of wealth and beauty.
It is possibly related to a word for a drop, and the beautiful moon is a drop in the sky. Words which sound as if they are related, like indIvara mean the blue lotus, classically associated with lakSmI.

Just a note: It is considered rude to ask your question on another persons thread.
If you went to the homepage (www.behindthename.com) and typed your name into the search area you would already know.
I've already conducted the search. Here is the direct link to Indira:

In future the name facts board is for names not in the database. Try searching before asking.
