The name India is derived from Indus, which originates from the Old Persian word Hindush, equivalent to the Sanskrit word Sindhu, which was the historical local appellation for the Indus River. The ancient Greeks referred to the Indians as Indoi (Ἰνδοί), which translates as "The people of the Indus".

HEYA!!☺️☺️
The republic of India is having two main principals short names in both official and popular English usage, each of which is historically significant, "India" and "Bharat". ... The name "India" is originally derived from the name of the river Sindhu (Indus River) and has been in use in Greek since Herodotus during 4th century.
THANKS!
