Meaning & origin(measured from records)
Cette matière colorante d’un bleu violacé est fabriquée soit par synthèse, soit en l’extrayant de l’indigotier. Le mot vient de l’espagnol qui le tira luimême du latin indicum qui signifie « de l’Inde », indien. Indigo est à la base de bon nombre de dérivés tous plus spécialisés les uns que les autres : indigocarmine, indigoïde, indigoterie, indigotine. L’indigo connaîtra un grand succès pour teindre les jeans. Voir Inde, Indium et Jean.

About this data
measured from records inferred from the name graph machine-generated
These figures come from the data snapshot of and will change as it is rebuilt.
Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.
Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
