A name that means "doe / female deer".

Hinda is from the Yiddish הינדאַ — hind (doe, female deer) — Yiddish rendition of the Hebrew Ayelet (gazelle). Hinda is one of the Yiddish feminine names — central to traditional Ashkenazi Jewish heritage. The doe (hind) is a symbol of grace + swiftness in Hebrew + Yiddish literature, dating back to the Song of Songs (Tanakh) where the beloved is compared to a doe (ayelet ahavim, the doe of love).

Where Hinda stands.

Hinda does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
