Meaning & Origin
A local government area in north-east Victoria, Australia, named after Indigo Valley; in full, the Shire of Indigo.
Indigo is a girl's and boy's baby name of Greek origin, from the Greek Indikon meaning "from India," referring to the deep blue-purple dye originally imported from India. Indigo is the color between blue and violet in the visible spectrum — one of the most distinctive and evocative of all color names.
Indigo has been rising as parents discover the deep, mysterious beauty of this rare color name. Its three syllables have a natural musicality, and the color's association with intuition and depth in many spiritual traditions gives it a quietly mystical quality that sets it apart from other nature names.
