The name "Hindi" is derived from the Persian word "Hind", which in turn comes from the Sanskrit word "Sindhu" meaning "river". It refers to the region around the Indus River in South Asia. Over time, the term came to refer specifically to the language spoken by the people living in this region, which we now know as Hindi.
