Sachin is a masculine given name common in South Asia. It is derived, via Indic languages like Bengali and Marathi, from the Sanskrit name Shachindra. Shachindra is a name given to Hindu god Indra which means Shachi's Indra. It is also a name of Hindu god Shiva. The literal meaning can be roughly translated into English as "the essence". [1]
