Well, I took a quick look at the Indian names section. I would caution you against taking the meanings on that site seriously. Many of the meanings are indeed etymological, some require semantic stretching, and many I could not fathom at all. In fact, many of the claimed Indian names (and given a Sanskrit gloss), are not Indian at all.
