Satinder is a Punjabi unisex name, though more commonly given to females in Western contexts. Derived from Sanskrit, it combines 'sat' meaning 'truth' and 'inder' referring to Lord Indra, the god of heavens and rain in Hindu mythology, creating the meaning 'lord of truth' or 'true Indra.' The name is particularly common in Sikh communities, reflecting Sikhism's emphasis on truthful living. Satinder maintains popularity among Punjabi diaspora communities worldwide while being less familiar in Western contexts. The name carries associations of integrity, honesty, and spiritual connection. Its meaningful origins and cultural significance make it a choice that connects children to their South Asian heritage while embodying important virtues.
