Independent, in one documented modern English word-name account.
The name-specific account includes English independent among several proposed sources for Indie. This interpretation is limited to that word-name route; an India-related naming intention has a different history.
Modern US name formation, including English-word and India-name routes.
The source describes several sources for the modern name rather than one inherited root. Its English independent account and India-name relationship remain distinct; neither establishes a bearer’s nationality or cultural identity.

Counts apply only to the exact spelling, place, year and recorded usage shown. Places are separate; these figures are never added into a worldwide total. Missing or suppressed records never mean zero.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canada | 2025 | Girls | 34 · preliminary | 834 | 2025 figures are preliminary. Quebec counts below five are randomly imputed by the publisher before national aggregation.
