Sindhu, derived from the ancient Indian river of the same name, is a unisex given name that holds significant cultural and geographical importance. It signifies prosperity, abundance, and the lifeblood of communities, much like the river it was named after.
The name Sindhu experienced peaks in popularity with 13 births each in 1997 and again in 1999, followed by a significant surge to 16 births in 2001. However, it seems the name's popularity declined thereafter, with fewer than 10 births per year from 2005 onwards. Over the period spanning 1981 to 2010, there were a total of 189 babies named Sindhu.
