Meaning: Of or pertaining to india

The name Indica is derived from the Latin term Indicā, meaning 'of or pertaining to India'. It has its roots in the Greek Indikē, used to describe the culture and geography of the Indian subcontinent. Indica gained prominence as a term associated with cannabis, derived from Latin, and is not directly linked to the work of Greek historian and explorer Megasthenes, titled "Indica." This text provided one of the earliest detailed accounts of the Indian subcontinent from a Western perspective. Over time, the usage of Indica expanded beyond historical texts and botanical nomenclature. Today, Indica is also used as a given name, reflecting its unique and exotic heritage. The name's rarity and global distribution make it a distinctive choice for those seeking a name with depth and character.
