Balindra (बलीन्द्र, IAST: balīndra) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “King of strength; the foremost in might”. Compound of bala (strength) + indra (king, foremost).
Meaning, etymology & significance
Balindra (बलीन्द्र) is built from bala (strength, might, vigor) + indra (king, the foremost). The literal sense is "king of strength" or "the foremost in might." The Bhagavad Gita 10.36 names bala among Krishna's manifestations: "Among the strong I am bala without lust or attachment."
In Sanskrit royal-titular tradition the -indra suffix is one of the most ancient — Mahendra (great king), Surendra (king of the gods), Devendra (king of devas). Balindra adds the bala-emphasis to this regal family.
A child named Balindra is therefore named with this dharmic-strength quality as a quiet inheritance.
Pronunciation: ba-LEEN-dra. Pair with classical Sanskrit-Kshatriya surnames.
Astrology — nakshatra & rashi
