Indravati (इन्द्रवती, IAST: indravatī) is an Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “Possessing Indra-glory; a sacred river”. Feminine of indravat — endowed with Indra's splendour; also the name of a sacred river.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Indravati (इन्द्रवती) is built from Indra — the king of the devas, wielder of the vajra — with the feminine adjectival ending -vatī meaning "possessing." The literal sense is "she who has Indra's glory" or "she who is endowed with Indra-splendour."

The name is also borne by a sacred river — Indravati — that flows through Chhattisgarh and Odisha, a tributary of the Godavari. The river-goddess connection adds a layer of sacred-geography resonance to the name.

A daughter named Indravati is therefore named with both Indra's regal splendour and the sacred-river depth. The name is uncommon in 2026 but unmistakably Sanskrit.

Pronunciation: in-dra-VA-tee. Pair with classical surnames.
