[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's super weird that a white couple from America named their daughter India. [/quote] India Wilkes was a character in Gone With the Wind. It’s a pretty well established American name at this point. [/quote] India was not uncommon in the 19th century US, along with state names (Louisiana, Indiana, Tennessee, Carolina are all names I've run across). Philadelphia and Liberty were also not unknown. I'm pretty sure India was used in 19th century Britain, as well.[/quote] India was the name given to the country by Greeks/Persians and later used by the English. India is known as Bharat or Hindustan to people in the country (and I believe there’s a few others, desh meaning my land and desi is someone from the homeland). [/quote]
