Hi !!!
I saw in a tv show an Italian girl whose name is Walindi.
She has not Indian ancestry and her mother seems to be hippie..
She said that it is an Indian names meaning "beautiful as the moon".
Is it a real name or something madeup?

The name of the fish has etymology "Cirrhilabrus: Latin, cirrus = curl fringe + Greek, labros = furious (Ref. 45335); walindi: From the type locality, Walindi Plantation Resort, located on the edge of Kimbe bay, New Britain (a noun in apposition)." About Walindi Plantation Resort, http://michelbraunstein.com/papua-new-guinea-dive-travel/ says "Walindi means in the local language “underwater meeting site”.
Walindi also means guards in Swahili according to Google translate. This is typical: unrelated words in different languages will sound similar by chance, so we do need to know the source language. (I do not, off hand, know any Walindi from India) But with no other knowledge than a vague "hippie" connection the Papua New Guinea one sounds more likely.
