නිරුක්තිය
From Old English India, Indea, from ලතින් India, from Ancient Greek Ἰνδία (Indía), from Ancient Greek Ἰνδός (Indós, “Indus river”), from Old Persian 𐏃𐎡𐎯𐎢𐏁 (hindūš), from සංස්කෘත सिन्धु (sindhu), ultimately from Proto-Indo-Iranian *síndʰuš (“river”).
Compare Middle English Inde and Ynde from Old French Ynde (original form started to prevail in the 16th century), Persian هند (hend, “India”), සංස්කෘත सिन्धु (síndhu, “a river, stream”).

Proper noun
India (plural Indias)
- A country in South Asia. Official name: Republic of India.
- (chiefly historical, proscribed in modern use) An area of land in Southern Asia, traditionally delimited by the Himalayas and the Indus river; the Indian subcontinent.

Usage notes
When discussing the pre-modern history of South Asia, naming the entire subcontinent India is common. For discussing the current states, which include the Republic of India, this can cause offense and confusion and is usually avoided with the terms Indian Subcontinent or South Asia (except in the specific context of discussing Indian reunification).
At times when multiple countries existed in South Asia, these have sometimes been pluralised as Indias or Indies. The word Indies survives in some place names such as East Indies and West Indies but is otherwise obsolete.
Synonyms
- (Republic of India): Bharat, Hinduland (rare), Hindustan
- (Landmass): Indian subcontinent, South Asia (usually including Indian Ocean nations), the subcontinent
Meronyms
- (the subcontinent): Pakistan, Bangladesh
