Rupinder is a unisex given name of Sanskrit origin, meaning "the one who has the Lord as the inner self". It is composed of two elements: 'Rupa' (form, appearance) and 'Inder' (Lord Indra). In Hindu mythology, Indra is the king of gods, associated with thunder and rainfall. Thus, Rupinder signifies a person whose form or appearance embodies the Lord himself.
This name has gained popularity among parents in India, particularly within Sikh and Hindu communities, due to its spiritual significance and timeless charm. It also offers flexibility as it can be used for both boys and girls, adding to its appeal.
The name Rupinder has seen varying popularity over the years, with a noticeable spike in 1995 when it was given to eight newborns. The total number of babies named Rupinder between 1982 and 1995 is 37.
