India (female) is an uncommon girls' name in England and Wales, ranked 509th in 2025 with 79 babies given the name. The name peaked in 2011, when 438 babies were given the name, the 130th most popular that year. It was almost as popular in 1999, with 431 babies given the name that year. It has declined since 2011; the 2025 figure is roughly 18% of its peak. Numbers have been falling in recent years. At least 8,400 babies have been named India in England and Wales since 1996.
The India you are most likely to meet is around 26 years old. Half of all Indias born in England and Wales are between 13 and 28, and there are at least 10,000 of them alive today. If you walk into a room of 100 females, there's roughly a 3.1% chance that at least one of them will be called India.

Where this data comes from
Figures from 1996 onwards are the Office for National Statistics' annual baby-name registrations for England and Wales, which record every name given to three or more babies in a year. Figures before 1996 are estimates: the ONS published only top-100 rankings at ten-year intervals back to 1904, so counts for those years are modelled from the rankings, calibrated against Douglas Galbi's long-run research into English name frequencies, and shown with an uncertainty band. Estimates of living bearers combine these birth figures with national life tables and ONS mid-year population estimates.
One limit worth naming: these figures count names as registered at birth. Anyone who changes their name later in life - including trans people, and anyone who adopts a different name by deed poll or simply by use - is not reflected here. Birth registrations record where a name began, not the name a person lives with.
