Answer:
The name India derives ultimately from Sanskrit Sindhu, which was the name of the Indus River as well as the country at the lower Indus basin (modern Sindh, in Pakistan). The Old Persian equivalent of Síndhu was Hindu. By the time of Alexander, Indía in Koine Greek denoted the region beyond the Indus.
