About the name Indie
Indie belongs to the English & American tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Indie first appears in Social Security records in 1959. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #552 in 2022, and in 2024 450 babies received the name — 3,953 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
