  • Notes 
    • The name Hindin is likely derived from "Hinde," which is a version of Hanah (via Hendl, Henda). Hindin, then, would mean a "descendant of Hannah." It must also be pointed out, however, that the word "hinde" is German for a female deer, from which the name Hindin may be derived. Kaganoff, Benzion C., A Dictionary of of Jewish Names and their History, Schocken Books (1977).

      According to Beth Hatefutsoth, with the museum of the Jewish Diaspora in Israel, the name Hindin and its derivatives--Hindes, Hindus, Indis, Indes--are variants of hinde, meaning hind in German, the female counterpart of hirsch, the German for stag/deer. Hirsch and its numerous variants are secular equivalents of the Biblical Naphtali, whom Jacob compared to "nimble hart." These surnames are also associated with the biblical female given name Hannah.

      The Russian spelling of the name "Hindin" is "Gindin". This is the spelling of the name on Solomon Hindin's passport.
