Meaning & origin
Inda is a rare and obscure name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1888, but has seen little use since. Its peak year was 1888, the same year it was first recorded, and it has never ranked among the top 1000 names. With a stable trajectory of near-zero usage, Inda remains a historical curiosity rather than a modern choice. No top states are associated with the name, underscoring its extremely limited geographic spread.
Inda is likely a variant of Linda, a name of Spanish origin meaning 'pretty,' ultimately from Latin 'bella.' Alternatively, it may be a short form of names such as Miranda or Belinda. The name saw modest use in the late 19th century, with its first recorded year in the U.S. being 1888.
