Answer:
The official name of the Republic of India was derived from the Sanskrit name 'Sindhu' that referred to Indus River.
By the time the Persians conquered both, the then Indian subcontinent and Greece in 5th century BCE, 'Sindhu' became 'Hindus' to mark the 'land of Hindus'. From the Greek Herodotus (4th century BC) 'Hindus' evolved to 'Indos' and made its first ever appearance in Old English in 9th century. Finally, in 17th century as 'Indos' made way to Modern English the name 'India' came into existence.
Although the name was inspired from the Indus, the river now runs mostly through Pakistan, Jammu & Kashmir in India and western Tibet.
