Census
Indria in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 125 people with the first name Indria, which placed it at #49,507 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Indria is Black at 68.8%. The next largest groups are Asian/Pacific Islander (10.4%) and Hispanic (9.6%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself.
The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Indria described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Indria at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Indria
The name Indria finds its origins in the Sanskrit language and Hindu culture, dating back to ancient times. It is derived from the Sanskrit word "indra," which means "king" or "ruler." This name is closely associated with Indra, the king of the devas (gods) in Hindu mythology, known for his power, courage, and strength.
In Hindu scriptures, such as the Vedas and the Puranas, Indra is depicted as the lord of the heavens, wielding the powerful thunderbolt, Vajra. He is revered as the god of rain, storms, and battles, playing a significant role in Hindu mythology and rituals.
The earliest recorded instances of the name Indria can be traced back to ancient India, where it was used as a name for both males and females. It was particularly popular among the warrior and ruling classes, as it symbolized strength, power, and authority.
Throughout history, several notable individuals have borne the name Indria. One of the earliest recorded examples is Indria, a renowned Sanskrit scholar and grammarian who lived during the 7th century CE in India. His works on Sanskrit grammar and linguistics were highly influential during his time.
Another prominent figure with this name was Indria Rajah, a powerful ruler of the Srivijaya Empire in Southeast Asia, who lived during the 7th century CE. He is credited with expanding the empire's influence and establishing trade routes across the region.
In the 12th century, Indria Devi was a celebrated queen of the Chahamana dynasty in present-day Rajasthan, India. She was known for her patronage of arts, literature, and architecture, and her reign saw the construction of several remarkable temples and monuments.
During the 16th century, Indria Khan was a respected military commander and nobleman in the Mughal Empire. He served under the reign of Akbar the Great and played a crucial role in several military campaigns and conquests.
In more recent times, Indria Naidoo was a South African journalist and author who was born in 1962. She gained recognition for her work in promoting environmental awareness and sustainable living, and authored several books on these topics.
It is worth noting that while the name Indria has its roots in Hindu mythology and culture, it has been adopted and used across various regions and communities over the centuries, transcending its original cultural and linguistic boundaries.

FAQ
Indria: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Indria?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 46 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Indria going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 7,451,181 US residents.
Is Indria a common name?
We classify Indria as "Very Rare". It ranks above 53.1% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 50 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Indria most popular?
The single biggest year for Indria was 1972, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Indria is about 45 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Indria in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 125 people with the name Indria, or 0.04 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #49,507 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Indria in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Indria?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Indria leans strongly female. 126 people counted with this name were female (98.4%), compared with 2 male bearers (1.6%). The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Indria?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Indria is Black at 68.8%. The next largest groups are Asian/Pacific Islander (10.4%) and Hispanic (9.6%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Indria most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Indria in the 2020 Census, accounting for 68.8% (86 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Indria in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Indria a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Indria in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Indria still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Indria in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Indria can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate.
