A name that means "india (mu'awiya's mother, classical arabic name)".

Hind (هند) is the Arabic word for "India" — but as a feminine name predates the geographic reference. Hind bint Utbah (d. c. 636) was the prominent Quraysh noblewoman who initially opposed Islam fiercely (her father, brother, and uncle were killed at Badr by Muslims) but later converted.

Where Hind stands.

Hind does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
